I got back last week from this years long ride. Three weeks total, four days out, a few days in Rapid City SD, three days to Schrieber Canada ( not on a lot of maps),
three days to Fort Dix NY via; Sault St Marie, North Bay and Ottawa, a few days in Lake Placid then Home.
It was a gentleman's tour meaning I did not camp, but did suffer lousy internet in many hotels, just to keep things rustic. The hotels I used were not expensive and were chosen mostly on price and not being listed on the "Bed Bug Registry" The AC worked in all the rooms I got, a good thing as it was in the 90's almost every day, a surprise to me, as the weather statistics indicated it should be in the 70's (the reason I picked early June for the trip).Oh well, I survived .
My daily mileage ranged from 250 to 450 miles between hotels making for several long days in the saddle. The problem with the long days is not having time to stop to visit a lot of interesting historical sites I passed. Next year I will go back to my tourist pace 200 mile days.
