I was surfing around for the book and happened across this recent cycling club write up on our trip. It's brief and might offer some helpful insight (NOTE: I wasn't able to locate the referenced December 2012 newsletter for Part 2).

Sadly, seems like there won't be time to get it before the ride.Cool Dave!I'm sure the maps paper we'll receive will be excellent, but also wanted to mention that I saw this yesterday:I'll also have a 10,000mAh battery along as well - though according to my power calculations I'll use most of that myself (1/2 charge of phone and garmin each day). I have a couple smaller USB batteries I'll bring along if someone wants those.

The maps are in color, printed on 11" x 17" paper, and broken down by the riding day (e.g., Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, etc.). Each day is printed on a single sheet of paper (copy of Day 1 map below). The longer ride days, which is every day with exception of Day 1, are printed double sided. While the maps are very detailed, only a few of the maps show the alternate routes. So we'll have to rely on GPS and/or cue sheets if/when we elect to ride alternate routes. I'll go ahead and have copies of the maps made for each of you.On another note, I wanted to let you know of a couple of items that I'll be bringing for the group. First is a Katadyne "Hiker" water filter. It'll quickly and easily filter water for potable consumption. Second is a portable 11,000 mah capacity battery charger. I'll be carrying this in addition to my two (2) 2800 mah capacity battery chargers. This "back-up" can be used if you've exhausted your battery chargers. So if you need juice to keep your boom box going I've got it.Finally, for those tubeless folks I have a few 2 oz containers of Stan's. Picked them up at Sea Otter. If you want one for "just in case" let me know. I'll bring it but you got to carry it.--
