Part of preparing for an adventure like this is making sure that your bike is in tip-top shape. I took my trusty steed into the local bike shop for an overhaul. It didn't really need an overhaul, since it's just a year and a half old. The good news was that they saved me a few bucks since it didn't need much work.
I did make one concession to old age though. I changed my rear cassette to include a 27 tooth low gear, up from the 25 tooth I had been using. It may not sound like much, but that low gear will make hill climbing 10% easier. At some point in the Rockies I'll be pretty happy about that.
