I have never seen the fall colors in New England and I am planning my bike tours for next year (2010) and thought that a bike tour though the area might be the best way to do it.

But, as a lifelong Californian, I have no idea where to go, when to be there, or what route to take. I see that the ACA has a route through Vermont, the Green Mountain Loop and wonder if that would be one to take. I have family in New Jersey (Lambertville). It would be much easier to bike around there. Are the fall colors worth seeing that far south?

I'm aware of this website: http://fallgetaways.iloveny.com/foliage_report.html but it only covers New York and has nothing about bike touring.

I assume that hotels are at a premium at this time of the year. Is that only the weekends that are busy or is every day sold out?

Any other information would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ray
