I said I've not toured before, but been for plenty of weekends and overnights, and week trips where we stay at one base and cycle around. You sound like you've got it worked out, so that's the first hurdle over with. I seem to spend all my time wondering which combinations to work with for my up and coming 8 day tour in the Black Forest this April. I've got two bikes to make up, one for me, one for a friend. Oh, the possibilities.
Goood luck with everything, and welcome aboard.
Oh, that Kayaking sounds great. One thing I've always wanted to do but never got round to (I'm from the UK, and the water here is pretty crowded and pretty uninspiring). I like the idea of all that wilderness viewed from the water. I bet it beats everything.
