Day 10 - here to next?

We've planned our first 10 day to Winsted, CT, which is a little over half-way to Bar Harbor, ME. Now what?

1. We continue to Bar Harbor, ME. BORING! We want some mountains!
2. We go North to the Green Mountains by way of Ticonderoga. But how to get to Ticonderoga from New Paltz?
   
3. We get into the Adirondacks via Albany, then transfer over to the Green Mountains.
4. We bike to Burlington and then find some route east-southeast to rejoin the Atlantic Coast Route, then take the spur to Boston, MA. Then we could put our bikes on the train for the ride home. But we have to find a Eastern route across three states. Maybe we can go through Canada?
   
5. We bike from Burlington to Portland, Maine; then we bike or train to Boston; then we take the train home. Whew! Do we even have time for all that?
   

We'd love to hear your thoughts, dear reader!
