That's why I just bought a Bike Friday that I can bring with me. It's probably not fast enough for what you want to do. Good luck!
I guess we could do that (and will do that to do some mountain biking)...but our bikes are set up for us, with our garmins and such, with the pedal retention systems we like, with the saddles we like, and the groupsets we like. We want to do it in the LEAST risky way, but on such a big ride we really need our own bikes. I am sure that this is done all the time, so hopefully we will figure it out and it will all get there...one way or another...in one piece.
