Just since you’ve gotten a lot of
interesting answers and mine is a bit different, I’ll toss it in.
Weather forecast for the ride is low of 50 high of 84. Given that, I’d
have a sweatshirt on over a t-shirt until it came time to mount up, then I’d
ditch the sweatshirt. I’d be cold for 10 minutes, then riding will
have warmed me up. Send a windbreaker in your crewbag.
Do slather on the sunscreen and keep the chapstick
handy.
I don’t think you will find the
water situation THAT different. You still sweat in both climates, its
just that it dries in the SW. I feel that I need to drink MORE when its
humid – should be just perception, as those temp levels will not cause
the water loss from your lungs that someone else mentioned happens at lower
temperatures.
Have fun – sorry I won’t be
there to meet you!

Hey guys,
Looks like I'm really getting to come to the Man
Against Horse ride so this is my *one* chance to meet some of you
Southwesterners. :-)) I needed to go west anyway to help my daughter drive home
from her summer job and Bruce Weary and his wife have invited me to do the ride
with them. Can't turn that offer down!!!! Please introduce yourselves. I don't
remember names AT ALL, but if you mention a conversation we've had, I'll
remember. If I've made you mad before pretend we haven't talked. I won't
remember the name so that's not a problem. I'm open to any advice on how
to get a Southerner through a desert ride. For instance, what do you start the
race wearing in the AM? I hate to do it, but I guess I'm leaving my sponge at
home. Don't know what I'm going to do with my right hand all day. >g<
