My game plan is to have the 2012 300 Race E by the time the Arizona Trail Riders' "Sheridan Mountain Showdown" non-time-keeping qualifier enduro race commences on April 15th. I'm not sure I'll ride it, there -- just put it on display.
As for hot weather riding, I can, with some effort, be ready-to-ride at 5am and done by 7:30am. We'll also be heading up to Flagstaff for lots of riding (especially when the monsoons wet things down).
