yes it is in the first week of sept. I guess the weather in telluride can be anything though. And it is the san juan hut ride. Durango to moab. See I was thinking I will be wearing the fleece lined gloves which should keep my hands warm and the rubber gloves over as long as my hands are warm it shouldn't matter if they are wet too right?. You know I have a pair of fingered wool gloves too. they really saved me during a very cold Canadian sand sculpture contest. My hands were soaked but warm. Maybe I will just bring those and my fleece ones.
