Well Patrick, I love the desert and have spent some long vacations in the SW, but when people come up with this dry heat argument, all I can say is, "The inside of my oven is dry too, but i don't want to stick my head in there!" During camping trips in NM, AZ. & Death Valley, I found I didn't move much after noon.
If ( when & soon) I retire I think I'll start riding at about 5:00 AM during this kind of weather. Michael On Jul 16, 10:21 am, PATRICK MOORE <[email protected]> wrote: > NM? SoCal??
