This is the message it relay's to me:
"Site Error
Unfortunately, a site error has just occurred. These types of things happen from time to time, but a detailed description has been sent to our IT department and we will look into what has happened as soon as possible. In the meantime, please feel free to browse other parts of the site."
...Although i just checked my bank statement and apparently the order is processing, i did click submit more than once so hopefully it doesn't try to come out multiple times.

I just tried purchasing some ACA maps from the site, i put in all my information but everytime i go to submit the credit card information it say's there's been a site error and that it's been sent for an IT specialist to look at...
I need the ACA maps for the Great Divide Route, the book, and the narratives text as soon as possible, when will this issue be resolved?

why? what are the advantages you see in doing this?
we're not strict on which direction we're going to choose, but there are a few reasons i'd rather go southbound:
1. The maps are layed out north to south, not that this is a big deal, im sure reading the maps backwards isnt hard.
2. Im dieing to start in Canada, it's completely new territory to me and the only part on the route i've never seen.
3. At the time of year we're starting, i think it would be more enjoyable weather wise to start in Canada late June/early July, rather than in New mexico in peak summer.
4. My last adventure was south to north, going a different direction this time just feels right.
....
but im really just looking for a good mountain bike to use along the ride that isnt rediculously expensive, im not too concerned about the direction we're going, i just need the gear to take me along the way. Are there any good bikes that fall within the 1500 range?

Well, the poster below me was straight forward enough with his thread title lol.
Im going to ride the GDMBR in 2014, i've been constantly researching forums and talking to as many people as possible. Im a backpacking expert, but completely new to bikepacking, i have all the gear necessary, besides the bike.
I have a 2004 Specialized Hardrock with 26" wheels, it's in good condition... is it possible to use this for the GDMBR? Everybody keeps recommending me expensive bikes such as the Salsa Fargo, i like the bikes but dont have $2500 to spend on a brand new mountain bike.
Could i possibly throw some upgrades on my current bike and make that work?
Or are there any good bike's you guy's could recommend me that fall within the $1000 mark?
Thanks... seriously need some help.
