This is a great example of context being important. For a self-supported touring cyclist who's not overly interested in American 19th century history, this is probably not the most memorable few days' ride in the Eastern United States.
However, since I love historical sites and have three teenage boys to watch over, Cycling the Erie Canal (CTEC) tour is definitely on my list for this coming July. I would prefer to do something a bit moreadventurous, but I know this tour will satisfy the troops, especially if we stop frequently for ice cream, baseball catches and frisbee tosses.
