Trans-America Trail: Could I?

Let me pose a question to you guys.

Have any of you guys done this trail? It seems like it's for pretty hearty souls. Right now, I tip the scales at 260, and average about 17 miles per day. I am thinking that if I try this trail, I would begin in March or April of 2005. WHen do you guys think I should begin busting my behind to try and get in shape for a ride like this? Is a year and a half even long enough for a guy my size to be ready to traverse the country?
Also, I will be buying a new bike soon. WHat would you guys suggest with this in mind?
I just wanted some input. Thanks!
