I have a flat-bar hybrid w/o any suspension; will the trail beat me to death w/o suspension or should I get another bike w/ suspension for this trip?

Any excuse right? ;-)

How often will you ride the Cowboy Trail?
Will you ride Full Suspension anywhere else?
Is there a Bike you have been looking at and love but are wondering why you would need it and the Cowboy Trail sounds like the reason?

I rode my GT GRADE-150 Gravel bike with Clement Xplor USH tires(I put in Slime Teflon Liners and go one flat, but I think it was a wheel issue not a thorn). Lisa rode her Canondale Adventure 4 with Schwalbe tires. I think the bigger tires were better. She got a flat (on the bike rack) the day after we quit. So... That's what we rode.

I think you will be just fine with no suspension. I rode a Specialized Stumpjumper hardtail and locked out the front fork and it was fine for 200 mi Atkinson to Valentine and back. Ran Clement LXV 2.1 tires. If you need to take the edge off just run a bit lower pressure. Your hybrid will probably be better on the trail than my hardtail mountain bike was.
