This is a great thread.  I have yet to do any kind of big ride.  I am planning, someday, when I can to do a big ride.  The more I read posts like this I find my self thinking about what I can do after retirement.  Maybe a few multi day trips prior to that, however the no holds barred, get on the bike and ride would prolly have to wait till I am done working.  For me anyway so that time is really not a factor.

Thanks to you guys for sharing the info and experience and also sharing your spot tracking.  That is awesome and I am sorry that the OP did not get his dream trip in...
