In ten years of riding TX I've seen two armadillos. Both in the last week. Whizzed by the first at 30mph on Sat--today I stopped.

Old school indeed . I changed my mind to a coed team for RAAM ..... 2016 ...... :) You want in on this ?

Maybe? Mentioned 2014 to wifey and after being a bike widow when I went across in '10, she's not a big fan. Very supportive, but there are limits. But '16 is eons away. So maybe. Let me know when this becomes locked and you need firm committments. What about BP?
