You guys get a wet season? I know so little. The dryness is a big factor. if you don't pre-hydrate you'll spend the whole ride trying to catch up rather than maintaining. which means massive headaches. at the end of winter, we don't get much moisture till monsoon season. like 90+ days with no measurable rain. then monsoons hit usually late July. massive storms in the afternoons, often daily. once they start temps sit in the 70's for the remainder of the summer. September is the month to visit NM. Right now we're in the thick of the dry season... the desert right now, impassable on anything less than 4.4 at 6PSI. we call it powdered sugar sand. |

Except....What's the scorpion/snake/spider situation down there? Loaded? I was surprised i didn't see a rattlesnake this morning. Its really not too bad, we get reasonable riding all year with a few exceptions. There's enough variations between high mountains and lower desert to find something reasonable. Its not Phoenix hot.  Attached FileThe mountains certainly get more weather. But everything will be pretty dry till monsoons. I had to get out early this am, its supposed to be 104 today

I just got the wife a gravel bike. She hasn't ridden a bike since she was 9 and has only ridden singlespeeds.
She was nervous but it came back to her. After a few runs up and down the street to figure out shifting and disk-brakes, she did 6 miles of paved trails and dirt singletrack (incl 600' of hills). She loved it! I'm super proud of her. |
