Thanks (again) for the help. It's our first tour, we know we can handle the distance, tackling a lengthy self-supported tour seemed a bit ambitious. Taking camping (and hauling camp gear around) out of the equation seemed to make sense. We'll definitely call ahead to see if Ithaca provides similar parking.

As for weather, we're keeping our fingers crossed. We do have 10 days off, so if rain threatens to dampen any of that week we should be able to rearrange the trip to get in some fair-weather riding.

The trip is at the end of June. I'll share with the highlights of the ride.
