All I can tell you is that the STP is held the third week of July because that is the statistically least likely time to rain here .

Having said that, yesterday turned out to be rather warm. It started off cold enough in the morning that I was quite comfortable wearing my tights the entire 26 + mile ride, though.

I think I bring rain to rides, though. When we went to the Bike Around the Buttes in April, it rained then as well...
