Don - do you have a link to the route you mapped?  I'd be very interested in 
looking it over.

Hello Don,

You can ship your bike to a LBS in the area before hand and have it
tuned for you arrival and then reverse the same procedure for your
trip home. That way it will be good to go for your trip. I just
returned this weekend from a two week solo self contained tour of the
Sierras through Yosemite, Kings and Sequoia NP's starting on the 395
in Mammoth. I just used Map My Ride for the route and it was amazing.
No real need to follow bike routes if you are up for some adventure.
But if you are going to follow a route, try Adventure Cycling for some
maps.
