Hey all, this is John from the MN team (IHCC).  I grew up in Princeton, NJ, and am very familiar with this area.  I reviewed the route as it was given to me by Dave Page, and came up with suggestions and a document that gives some turn by turn information as well as rest stops.  Whoever is overall in charge of mapping, please let me know who you are so I can work with you if you'd like!

Nice supported ride, 7 days, approx 600 miles, road cycling, supports EMS by honoring those who have died in the line of duty. If you have never ridden through NYC with a police escort this is a hoot.

The National EMS Bike Ride will run from May17-23. I am trying to register as many riders as possible and would love suggestions on other forums which are accessed frequently by riders. The ride is about 600 miles with 2 100 mile days and the rest 65-85. Pretty country. Police escorts through NYC, Philly, DC.  I am also trying to find a supplier of numbers for the bikes. At one of the Lance Armstrong rides we had hard plastic numbers for the bikes which are much more durable for a 7 day ride.
