I love riding to work in the morning when it's 70 degrees but I'm getting tired of riding home when it's 95 and humid. I have an easy ride home - 25 miles at average 55mph and only 4 lights and 1 stop sign - so I'm lucky not to spend much time standing still in the heat. I took off the windshield last week and it didn't help much. It's been a hot summer so far and I have to admit that I'm starting to make excuses to take the car a couple days a week just to have air conditioning.

 

I get tired of the rain,heat,cold,and bugs. But I love to ride so with a little bitching to make me feel better about it.-------I ride.

 

Hot or not, Im ridin! I ride to work every day. Supposed to be in the high 90's today. Gonna ride out to Florence to see daughter and grandson. It has been in the high 90's and low 100's here for a while now. Ya just gotta deal with it.

 

I'm such a whuss I live in Sacramento CA. In general it stops raining in early March and commences again in mid-November. In the meantime it's blue skies every day.

There's no mosquitos after April and Lake Tahoe is an hour or so one way and Frisco about the same in the opposite direction. The Central Valley is beautiful and the Sierras are great for riding. Yosemite Valley is three hours away and then there's the wine country. You can ride Highway 1 up the coast, connect to 101 straight up to Oregon and all that great riding.

Gets hot but the humidity is in the low 30s most days, and the delta breeze from the San Francisco Bay cools things down to the low 60s every night.

Now that's a pretty good way to avoid seeing what your inner biker is made of... -L-

 

after reading some of the post.. I'd say no, you are not the only crybaby.

 

Some days like around 100 are like riding into a blast furnace. I'l ride some but not all the time. I also don't like ot start out riding in the rain. If on a trip I will but don't like it. if it rains when I'm out riding..oh well, it happens.

MAybe I'm just a little puss.

 

Went into the mountains today - very hot in the city but just a bit of elevation made the ride perrrrrfect. Hope you all did the same this fine sunday.

 

THERE ya go.......works for me...

 

lol...

 

Well, it's supposed to be in the 110+ range during the day and lows in high 80's at night here in a few days around here. I don't care who you are, there's not gonna be much ridin' by anybody. I'm not as concerned about my personal comfort as I am about my air-cooled motor.
