By the same token, if anybody thinks this is a bad idea this time of year, please set me straight. My plans are pretty flexible, but i do want to get in a longish ride as long as it is not raining or excessively windy.

Hi, Mr. Alan.
I have a plan take this route at this weekend (saturday or sunday).
The Palomar Mountain Loop

Your route seems this one.

EDITED: sorry, this isn't your planned route ????
confusing with Palm Desert vs. Palm Springs, am I confused??? or ??? anyway...
IMHO, just be prepared for the cold air if you go up to high altitude.
Forecast says that weekend temperature is going up to 80 around Los Angeles, and sunny.
Just in case, get some extra layered clothing for the cold temperature at the top of the mountain.
I found that rain gear is really good choice for the protecting cold wind/air.
It protects water/rain and also protect WINDS amaizingly well.
Hoping that you have a good day for the riding......
