Cycling Across The Country

So this coming summer of 2008, I am going to cycle across the country for charity. The Journey of Hope is a 4,000 mile, 71 day trek from the West coast to Washington, D.C. to raise funds and awareness on behalf of people with disabilities. My route is eaving from Seattleand two others from San Fran. This past summer I drove along with the team as part of the support crew (92 men raised $525,000!) documenting their trip in over 7,000 amazing photos.

So I still need a road bike to start training. Looking somewhere under $1000 price range, but the cheaper the better. I was looking at the Trek 1500 and 2100 series when I was at their store the other day. Any other ideas?

Also I was looking to join some cycling groups around Tucson, AZ.
