What sort of mileage do you plan on doing?

You live close to Acadia, and there is a lot of good riding there. The perimeter road is scenic, and if you want some exercise ride up Cadillac. Make sure to stop at the Jordan Pond House after, they will be open in June. Have the lobster chowder and popovers.

You can also rent Mtn bikes, if you don't have any, and do the carriage trails.

You could also ride to Acadia, do some rides there, and then take the ferry over to Winter Harbor. From there you can ride most of the way home off Rte 1. There is a nice B&B in Cherryfield, the Englishman's B&B.

The Augusta area has some excellent training rides, quite hilly. The Maple Hill Farm is our favorite B&B and is just south of Augusta.

The North Conway, NH, area also has excellent training rides, really quite hilly.

Sleeping bag, tent, food, stove, and dog. more than likely a trailer too. As I was told that my bike is not a touring (but it is listed as one on the Fuji website).
