Maillotpois- I think randonneuring is it's own special kind of crazy no matter what the weather, but you probably get a lot of good stories to tell...

C'mon down to Tucson. There is a completely supported ride up to the top of Mt. Lemmon in the beginning of May- a good thing as water isn't widely available in many places. I haven't ever ridden the entire thing- but have gone from milepost 1 to milepost 5, and from milepost 11 to the very top. (I did cheat and ride all the way to the bottom that day....)
