Connecting ACA Routes / Re: Michigan Hiway 23 to Mackinac bridge

Been off planning/preparing for awhile.  gamcgregor, thanks for the info.  Looks like we will bike along the lake huron side now.  We will be crossing at Marine City around the 17-19th, so we will be close to Port Huron.  We'll see how it goes.  I'd rather not finish in the allotted time then be rushed.

Routes / montpelier vermont to conway nh

Has anyone done a route that connects the towns of Montpelier, vt and conway, nh?  What are the conditions like for hills, traffic, road surface, camping?  I know it is eastern mountains. but how steep/often?  There look like very few options.  I will be traveling self contained on way to Portland Maine.

The plan is to take the trail from Chebogan to Gaylord, back roads to Mio, and the down 33 to Alger, Standish and on to Pinconning and Bay City.  At Rose City we may slip more easterly and come down on 65, or county roads.  We are wondering about road conditions, traffic, and whether 23 would be the better route.  Don't mind hills, if they are the substtute for headwinds.  Camping looks to be available in most ares.

I have a related question to this route.  We are planning  a west to east route, and will be in the UP in early May, then planned to go down the middle of the state and catch the Lake Erie connector across Ontario. From Mackinac City to Chebogan/Gaylord/Mio/Pinconning/BayCity.  Does this route make sense?  What can we expect?
