I rode my bike across Michigan a few years ago. Did the whole camping thing, but it was a supported ride. I'd like to do a nice camp tour carrying a load. I am starting my sister out this year, breaking her in and she doesn't know it! We are going to do a 35 mile rail to trail, stay in a hotel and ride the trail back this summer. Not exactly a long ride but it will be long for her. If I train her right, we will be doing week longs next year!
