Lots of great help in here. Thanks everyone. The ridewithGPS site is exactly the type of thing I was looking for. I'm going to make maps of the individual days with elevation graph at the bottom. It'll be nice to know what we're up against every day. I'll probably also pick up that book, too. Just for the facility listings.

As for my compact 10 speed setup. I'm buying a long cage Deore derailleur and a larger cassette off of CL today, which should help with the climbs.

Thanks again.
