I'd say try it and report back!

Long after finishing this ride, I realized why we had so much rain on Day 2.
@SwimmerMike rode with us that day. With a handle like that, we tempted the Bike Gods, and they provided.

Thanks to me you now have some great stories. If it was just a sunny ride, it would not have been nearly as epic. I'm glad I was able to make the ride more memorable.
