Anybody done it? Anybody going this time? We are really excited about it...would love reviews/tips from previous riders or to meet up with TE gals. Cheers!

I am just about to make a decision about signing up. I think today or tomorrow is the deadline. My daughter, who is 17 and I want to do a tour together, and that's the week we have available. This will be our third mother-daughter biking tour. 2 years ago we did the Amazing Adirondack Adventure and last year we did a segment of a cross country tour out in Wyoming and S. Dakota. Maybe we'll see you there!

We are choosing between BTRoulet and another NY State ride called FANY. Know anything about that one? It is a one-way from Niagra Falls to Saratoga Springs and more milage--averaging 70/day. Here's a link:

The hard part is that to do either of them, we'd miss a MS 150 we want to do in PA from Altoona to Penn State and back.

What we would REALLY like is a self-contained tour. Not more than 7-8 hours from Pittsburgh for a start, but carrying our own gear for a week. But maybe that's another post...
