The big concern, as others have noted, is that there could be some strong winds on Saturday. These can really blast in the area. Should be a real chilly ride regardless.
Don't you usually lose about 3-5 degrees per 1000 feet of elevation gain? That's 6-10 degrees different between Ocotillo and the highest point.
Besides, I'd rather have to strip down than be cold.
