awesome. i love the beach. the only thing i like better then the beach is the shore. and only thing i like better then the beach and the shore is a geological formation consisting of loose rock particles such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, cobble, or even shell along the shoreline of a body of water.

yo set a date and lets ride

approx 90-100 miles from philly to wildwood, depending upon where you leave from in philly and what route you take

Around 400 or 450 I think, doing it with a bunch of friends. It'll be a 6 or 7 day long tour.

Racks, panniers, tent, bag ect. this isn't a one day trip.

Though some day I'd like to do that...

whoopie!

as far as pittsburgh goes the most common 2 routes are 300 and 400 miles
check out this goofy bastards website http://www.geocities.com/bicycletourstring/
and the article written about him in dirtrag magazine for ample information and pointers
http://www.dirtragmag.com/print/article.php?ID=859&category=features

seriously, this kid does the ride across the state for fun and to visit family and friends (grew up here, lives in pittsburgh now)... that trip he knows like the back of his hand, and he would much rather ride his bike then work, so everything is on the cheap!
