Bikes used on the van-supported Southern Tier tour

In the months before we started riding from San Diego in March, several of us were scrambling to determine if our current bikes would work well on the Spring 2013 van-supported Southern Tier tour. For any future tour riders and for documentation, here are our bikes, the real heroes of the ride. They are a variety of makes and styles, as you will see below. So one take-away is there is no one "right" bike for the van-supported Southern Tier tour. A big thanks to Terry, who collected the bike information below earlier.
