POMG
Short for Peace Of Mind
Guaranteed, this company offers group and custom tours that
allow you to select your own routes for most legs of the tours,
letting you bike as much or as little as you want. You can build
a custom tour with them that allows you to stay in inns or campgrounds
(they provide all equipment), and for a real challenge check
out their Vermont 100/200 Challenge, where you cycle the entire
length of Vermont in two days. You can call 1-888-635-2453 for
