Original plans were to ride from NY to FL via the Blue Ridge Parkway. I was going to give myself a month to complete it, enjoy a few days at the beach, and hop on a plane back home.

I casually mentioned it at work, and I could see by the reaction that if I took that much time off, it would put unnecessary strain on the business. I had a feeling it would, and I can understand this. So...

I've trimmed it back and I'm getting excited about doing a loop around NY state, leaving from my fair city of Kingston.

-Kingston
-West/North through Catskills
-Erie Canal trail and bicycle routes to Syracuse
-Great Lakes Seaway Trail to the northern terminus
-Across Northern NY
-Cross Lake Champlain
-Head south through VT and bring it on home back to the Hudson Valley
