Lets figure out a route about 50mi, plan for the mid-morning of the 21st. By then the weather should be good for say about a 9 or even 10am start.
9:00 am is good but 10:00 is too late. I would actually like to start earlier than 9. If you dress in layers that can be removed as the day warms you should be okay. We'll have to watch the forcast this week to see if the rain is actually going to come through. The last time I did the Ray Roberts route the roads were rough and there were lots of two lane roads. Those conditions don't bother me but there may be others who prefer better riding conditions.
