Bikes: "Hildy", a Novara Randonee touring bike; a 16-speed Bike Friday Tikit; and a Specialized Stumpjumper frame-based built-up MTB, now serving as the kid-carrier, grocery-getter.
Adventure Cycling's Atlantic Coast route fits the bill for you. After sections 1 and 2 (up through Norristown, PA), you'll have to peel off the route to head west.
The Novara Randonee is another good touring bike - often mentioned in the same breath as the Surly Long Haul Trucker and the Trek 520.
100 miles a day is pretty ambitious. There are prople who've done it, but you don't get to see much along the way. This isn't a race!
