Tom, I appreciate it. The ride will be with my wife and, while we don't hammer it out, we don't usually meander much either because we normally budget between 75 and 90 miles a day based on our past trips, although this year we may try to keep it under 75.
So we tend to try to find the straightest route, but if we have a prettier and safer option that doesn't add a huge number of miles, we'll take it.
I'll check the Long Island: Good Ride Today? thread and then let you know if I have questions as we piece together our route.
