I dont mean to be a buzz kill but thats the same weekend as Worlds in Havasue

[Krazy Koika]

Thanks for the heads up IEGPR!

I might have to add the following to the thread:
For all those not attending the 'Worlds at Havasue', you are more than welcome to come on an adventure ride. The lake will be empty.

Cheers

thats right raceneked - a bit of a hike but hopefully worth it

Hey, what sort of weather conditions is it like there atm.
Is the water cold?
What would / should one wear for a days riding this time of year there?

[raceneked]

Mead is always worth it.
the weather is getting a lil cooler, mebbe a riding shirt in the morn, mid-day should be trunks.
although...
the weather started getting poor here today with a weather front moving in, should be at the lake by tomorrow morn.

[raceneked]

how was it?

[Krazy Koika]

Its next Saturday.
I'm still in Australia
I'm gonna bring boardshorts, a rashvest and a 1mm vest

[raceneked]

haHAAA!
looks like you'll slip in right in behind the first cold front of the year, lest it lags.
supposed to be 20 degrees cooler than norm, but warming for sat/sun.
you may wanna pack a shortie, just in case.

I'm now off to get a calendar...
