Northeast - Bike Trip from NC to CT? I need help or i will die trying this trip!

Seriously I want to do it. Greensboro North Carolina to Hartford Connecticut. Has anybody done a trip simmilar to this. I want to find a relatively backroad way to complete this. Does anybody know of a site where i can get good directions? Or just have any advice that will help me survive this adventure! Any help will be awsome.

I know I can do it. Two weeks ago I did a trip from Greensboro to Mytrle Beach South Carolina. It was 210 miles in 3 days. This 650 mile adventure from Greensboro NC to Hartford CT will be a bit longer I assume, like 10 days worth of riding, but i'm up for it. Please help me make this happen!

I'd rather die free,
than live as a prisoner

Have you tried the east coast greenway site?

Where do you plan on riding to in Hartford? Not much of a "bike friendly" city...and the other problem will be crossing the river in NY - you'll have to head north a bit (which isn't bad - you'll end up missing the busier areas in southern CT and in NY/NJ).

Are you carrying all your stuff, or is someone following you up?

check out adventure cycling's east coast route, runs inland somewhat, but established and revised. has lots of helpful info, even post office addresses, food, and lodging alternatives.
also, check "Bicycling the East Coast" by Donna Lynn Ikenberry. it's alittle more dated for resources, but also well established. we were able to contact her before and after east coast tour 2004. i went from southern NJ to Maine (greyhounded return), the group started in Florida, fragmented, while the leader went from SC to Nova Scotia and back!
good luck, have fun, and spin safe!
