Patrick,

1) as tom already mentioned, the period of 8/15-8/23, i hope you will be
riding at night. death valley in august will live up to it's name...

2) i live in jersey now, but lived in/around fort collins for 10 years
prior. i'd be happy to offer suggestions on food/bars, and would love
to see your full itinerary for colorado (i'm sure it's well planned, but
i want to live vicariously through you, and of course offer unsolicited
advice on alternate roads/paths to your desitination :-))

3) i live near newark and would be happy to help in any way you might
need. unfortunately, my italian is limited to asking for coffee, wine,
and cheese... if you've never been here, there are a few tricks to
making your drive near the cities less likely to disappoint foreign
clients.

looks like a blast!
