OK, now a tough question. 

What's on you playlist for listening on TD?

Who is doing the Race across Texas starting November 1 from Texarkana?

Lone Ranger you mentioned mailing back the tent after Salida.  That brings up sending supplies to post offices along the way ahead of time, food, spare parts (chain, tubes etc)  Is this something normally done, or are the shops along the way enough?  I know it depends on what breaks and where it occurs. I'm guessing its tough to coordinate your progress with the PO hours also, going through a town after hours.  Are racers starting with all the maps and sending home the used maps?
Thanks

Thanks for all the advice on shelters, lots of great advice and opinions, all good.

Next question is on sleeping shelter.  Bivey, tent or something else?  I know everybody has their preference and each rider must decide why works for them, but would like to hear what you use, and why.  I've been using a 2 person tent, but it takes up lots of space.
Thanks

Ok, ordered maps today

I just saw this thread, keep posting trips in NM, I may make the trip from Kansas sometime.  Did Enchanted Circle this year

Thanks Christopher for posting the link to the route. 

Im guessing the answer is in earlier threads, but thought i'd ask here.  Routing, i know the route follows the Adventure cycling maps, but using GPS, I have a Garmin etrex 30.  Is there a route to download to the garmin that follows the maps? 
Thanks

I've been fascinated with the TD and GDR before that.  I'm turning 60 next year and want to give it a shot.  Bought Fargo Ti this summer for the trip. #TD15

Thanks, Gimmearaise

Maybe it's here, but i thought I'd post the question.  What is the breakdown of types of bikes used in TD?  MTB, 29er drop bar (Fargo) or other, whatever that may be.
Thanks

Definitely would like to be out there riding the divide.  I love this time of year listening to all the calls on MTBCAST, thanks to Joe.  At age 58 I need to be doing it if I'm going to. 

I thought it was time to do a bikepacking trip.  Just boarded the Amtrak in KC, headed to St. Louis to start the Lewis and Clark trail.  Not sure how far I'll go, but at least getting it started.  Riding my Stumpjumper with Salsa bags.
