I am trying to convince a couple of friends to try touring. There are a couple of supported ones within range but can cost a bit. Rails to Trails Sojourn are doing the C&O canal towpath and Great Allegheny ride from Washington DC to Pittsburgh. The other is a supported Erie Canal ride. The first is almost a grand and the Erie Canal is $675. Seems like a lot to those who have not done a supported ride before. They do take care of everything. Comfort is their business. Personally I prefer to tour self supported but am willing to do one more supported to get others into touring.
Another idea is to do a short three or four day tour of Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard riding from hostel to hostel. It would be a good bike ride but going away for a tour is much more fun I think.
Self supported on the Erie Canal in 2008
Supported tours can be nice also. This is Austria in 2007
A tour is going to happen this summer. Which one is the question.
LFDH is awesome. I went to high school not far from where he grew up, and got turned on to H&O when they were still regional. I have pictures of them when I scored some press passes for a concert. Good stuff!
