It gets pretty remote in the places you write of, I haven't really explored over there yet. I've enjoyed keeping up with your exploits, I'm on here a fair bit, just don't say much
Actually that area around North Creek is not all that remote.
Our club will sponsor a ride out of North Creek on the 8th of Aug that will follow 28 to Blue Mtn Lake and up to Long Lake and then back on 28N through Newcomb back to North Creek - 80 miles. There are some sections in that loop where you don't pass much but in reality by staying on the main road you are really are never far from help if needed. I would recommend the Ididaride if you want a good ride with a nice group in that area, last year there were several hunderd riders and the ride is gaining popularity.
If you are riding over to Lake Placid you must be quite capable on steep terrain, I know there are very long and difficult grades particularly along 73.
Good to hear from you
