I'm gratified and humbled by the generosity of the BF community. Thanks to the input from those who've responded, we are going ahead with a modified version of our original plan to tour around Lake Champlain. It's practical because we already have the maps and such for the area and it has interested us for a while. I'm looking forward to corresponding a bit more with velotrain about some of the particulars, especially about Montreal and the Lake Placid area.

I also appreciate the helpful information about the NEK, Adirondacks and Finger Lakes regions. Those will be incorporated into future mini tours. Thanks.
