Hello!

I am hoping to ride solo from Boston to Philly in the late summer or early fall. I currently bike 100-150miles a week, but other than that I have no knowledge, training, or experience. I was wondering if anyone could provide any help. I am especially trying to find 1) a viable route (assuming typing the two endpoints into google maps won't yield the most bike friendly route, and 2) ideas for accomodations. I would like to keep the trip as simple and inexpensive as possible.

Thanks,
Geewhiz

Well... this is the LD forum, so doing it in a day is what I'm thinking. It would be a memorable day in the saddle for sure. But you mention "accommodations" so I think this might be more a bicycle tour. Check out Adventure Cycling for good route maps. And the 'touring' forum.
