You're talking about June-July 2009, right?
Anyway, try pm'ing bf member cyccommute. I believe he has experience w/ multi state rides of epic proportions.

Sore saddle cyclist
You should also post this in the touring forum, lot's of great advice there. What you want is the Bike Centinial route, picking it up in Kremmling CO, maybe over Trail Ridge Road, Frazer.

Thanks for your advice and knowledge. I figured I would have to push it pretty hard to make it and that it wouldn't be the most enjoyable ride ever but I like to be optimistic.
