>You're making me want to go explore this!

lol, report back! I'm glad this is turning into a team effort.

>As for ticks, I've never had issues. I mean it can't hurt to do a tick check at the end of the day but I have never found one on me unless I'm bushwhacking through the woods on foot.

Good to know! But Lyme disease is from Connecticut and I don't know how rough those "road closed", dotted line trails on Google are, so I'm especially wary. I also a ride a roadie with 700 x 27 tires, so I have to be open to the possibility of being on foot at some point if the trail turns too rough.

I suppose one day of Picardin use wouldn't be bad, just as a safeguard.
