thru bike colorado trail

[Gimmearaise]

Hello,

So a buddy and I are going to thru bike the Colorado trail sometime between late July and early sept. I was wondering if anyone else has done the thru-bike. Our plan... which is completely still up in the air is to go from Denver to Durango, in 9 or so days? Not sure how to go about planning this fun expedition! We want to make it as simple as possible, camp, one or two re-rations, carry are own gear, etc.

questions i have:
Routes
Tough sections to be aware of.
Ultra Light bike packing, what packs to use for a full suspension bike??
tubes or tubeless
type of tires
gear list
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

or if anyone know resources that is helpful let me know

Thanks
