Highest chance of rain is 20%. Cold was the real concern. One year I did an organized ride up where I will be doing the first day. Mid-October. It was 34 degrees when I left the hotel for the sort ride to the start of the event.
First night will be at really nice New Jersey state forest campground along the river. When I stayed there in June of 2018 during a tour home from northern Vermont a young bear cub walked across my path as I was riding back to my site from the shower. Mom was nowhere to be seen, which was scary but also sad. Hope the poor thing was not orphaned. Next task was to cook dinner, which included sautéed garlic and shallots. You can bet I kept my head on a swivel.
