I have posted an ad in Adventure Cycling for companions for a 5-day,
40-50 miles per day trip through NY, NJ and PA. The text of the ad
is as follows:

"Experienced 50-yr old NJ male married cycle tourist planning a short
(5 day) low-mileage (50 mi/day) camping / moteling ride in PA-NJ-NY
area to break in new bike; sometime between July 26-31, 2004. Have
Adventure Cycling east coast route maps. We're talking relaxed, fun,
stop-and-smell-the-roses touring. Email me at jgarcia@...."

This is the link to the Adventure Cycling ad.

Look in "North America" for the paragraph entitled "Northeast Tour".
I will be riding my Bike Friday. I would like to know if any other
BF'ers are interested. If you respond to my email PLEASE indicate in
the subject line that it pertains to the trip. Otherwise I will
delete any emails with blank subject lines. Thanks. I look forward
to hearing from you.
