I would say ride the southern section earlier rather than later, from previous years, tourers/ITTers start south and head north, to avoid monsoons and get warmer weather in the north. It does depend on the year though, Start too early and lots of North New Mexico northwards could still have snow.
Basically be prepared for anything, and just keep moving forward whatever the consistency of the mud! It'll be worth it whatever.
If you need collecting/a place to crash when you're done, contact Jeffery Sharp in Hachita, he'll drive you to Lordsburg for a bus or El Paso for a flight afterwards.
