Haleakala bike ride..has anyone gone lately

We are booked to do the Haleakala bike ride while in Maui. They are forecasting rain this coming week while we are there. Wouldnt that be a bit dangerous to do it in the rain?

I know that they still go if it is raining. I did the pony express tour two years ago and it was raining and we still went it was awful freezing cold and rain do not mix . The bike ride wouldn%26#39;t be as bad because at least do not stay at the top of the mt when where it is freezing. I wouldn%26#39;t think it is a safety issue though the bikes have good grips :)

I don%26#39;t think I%26#39;d go if it was raining. I can%26#39;t imagine you%26#39;d have a whole lot of fun with rain whipping at your face while you%26#39;re riding, and it would make it much colder I%26#39;m sure. You go pretty fast down the mountain (our guide told us we were going 28 mph) - I don%26#39;t think I%26#39;d be going that fast if it was raining - I would think it would get pretty slippery.
