Unless the weather makes a dramatic turn in the next few hours, probably not. My vision isn't great at night, and even with good lighting, it's difficult to see details in the road (potholes, etc.) when things are wet. On top of that, I don't have suitable rain gear for that long of a cold & wet ride, the bike I'd ride has rim brakes and a new chain, and it just generally sounds miserable.
I'm really disappointed - I was really looking forward to this ride! The last few years it's been fun, but tonight just sounds miserable
