Rich, some might consider 10 hours a day a bit harsh, that said, 'time' is not the issue this time of year. Riding this time of year is "Hotter than a jug full of red ants." Beware. It'll kick ya in the butt and make you wish for winter.

C'mon now Moe, as a fellow long distance rider I KNOW you aren't cautioning me against racking up the miles! And heat don't bother me a single widget! But I WILL have to watch out for my niece. I want her to remember the trip as pleasurable, not a chore. I'll make it clear to her that she has to speak up about her comfort level. She's been pretty good, though. A real trooper. Finally, the extended forecast I get is for the temps to be in the middle 70s next week. Perfect riding weather!
