Hey thanks for the suggestions. I like the sound of Bear Mountain, looks like some good hills and scenery as well. I'm going to check this out some more.
I just bought a specialized sirrus, older model 8 speed. Needs a little work (slightly stretched chain, so replacing the cassette as well), but much better than my road bike for this trip. Currently has 700x32, but I think some 38s should be no problem.
Zacster, that's just perfect.
