safariman - Still wide open for you and all, so if there is any way you can get on down here in July, do it. Aside from it being a fine occasion on which to meet and get to know you in person, your travel here (especially on the bike) certainly would signal that those illnesses are way in the past. Welcome that !!
Don't worry about a place to lay your bedroll - that will get well covered locally. And, if we know your route (would assume through the Blue to Boise, SLC, Moab, Cortez, Gallup and Q) and where you will need to stop enroute, we maybe can find a friend with a bed for you and a shed for your bike.
If you choose to bring your wife, I know a couple of lovely gals that would enjoy sharing time and putting her up.
