Looks great. What kind of difficulty can one handle with a bike and gear on board...?* Something I really want to add to my kit here in the east. Across the lake from me are the ADKs. Lots of nice laces to ride, but most of the cool places end in wilderness or water. Bikes are allowed to be carried (possessed, according to the park guidelines) in wilderness - so one can carry through - but floating out and connecting to other places would be rad...

*assuming one takes time to learn a modest set of water skills...
