My girlfriend and I are planning a four day (of riding) vacation
in New England at the end of August.  Neither of us have cycled
there before so we are interested in getting route information
(and any other appropriate general information) from those who
have.  Our criteria are as follows:

1.  Location:  preferably Vermont as we will drive from Ann Arbor
    Michigan and don't want to spend any more time in the car than
    necessary, however, other highly recommended N.E. locations
    will be duly considered.

2.  Daily mileage:  30 - 70 per day, depending on terrain and
    other diversionary activities (i.e. sightseeing, other
    recreation, etc.).  Hilly terrain is acceptable, but we prefer
    not to spend all four days working our tails off.

3.  Gearing:  our bikes have low gears in the mid and high twenties,
    respectively.  I am assuming this will not be a problem.

4.  General:  we want to travel rather economically, however, we do
    not want to carry camping equipment.  Thus, any suggestions for
    reasonably priced accommodations will be appreciated (as will any
    additional suggestions for Country Inns, etc. that are too good
    to pass up on one or two nights).  We want to travel light, so
    any suggestions for taking specific items that we might otherwise
    leave at home are also encouraged.

Responses via E-mail please.  Suggestions will be summarized and posted
at a later date.  Thanks in advance.
