Routes / Adirondack Loop - Help Needed

« on: March 29, 2009, 01:33:55 am »

I am planning a loaded trip CCW around the Adirondack State Park using ACA maps. The trip is supposed to start May 8, 2009 and I'm finding that the State Parks I'm planning on using do not open until after the Memorial Day Weekend. Short of rescheduling my vacation, does anyone have any suggestions. Can I camp where I planned on camping even though the park is closed? Are there alternate places to camp other than those listed on ACA maps? Should I just do it anyway and hope the local police will let me use municipal parks, etc?

Youth Bicyle Travel / Help needed

« on: October 21, 2006, 09:40:34 pm »

I have 5 kids - 17, 16, 14, 11, 8. My older three do not want to have anything with going on bike rides or short tours. My 8 year old will go with me anywhere. The 11 year old is hot and cold. How do I encourage all of the kids to go on bicycle adventures? I'm about to give up and just take the youngest with me.

General Discussion / Cycle Oregon Newbie

« on: October 01, 2006, 01:48:14 am »

I just finished my first long bicycling trip - cycle oregon 2006. What a blast!!!! I pedaled 400 miles over 7 days (day 5 was an optional 90 mile loop - I did laundry instead). I highly recommend it. I met people from around the world and I surprised myself by being able to complete the ride. Next year's Cycle Oregon is their 20th anniversary and they are hinting of a great route. I'm in for next year.
