Yeah that was another factor I was looking at, the rain!!!
I would hate to be half way out of town and the downpour begins, nothing worse then a storm at the start of a ride. I can hanlde it a little better at the end of the ride.
It's our annaversary this weekend so probably not. The trip is too long for my wife to handle. UNLESS it turns out that she has to work. Then maybe. I wish that the PJ's crowd would plan more trips south of Albq. It makes for a real long day when you have to ride 70 miles north to get to the starting point and then 7o miles back when the "ride " is over.
