I rode better than 400 miles around Centeral Texas last weekend 7-19-20.&nbsp\\; Seen several bikes and riders out in the 98*-102*heat.&nbsp\\; I would much rather it be a "little" cooler though.

I admit that I could be considered a fair weather rider. Heat and mild cold are usually OK, but rain and snow keep me off the road unless I am on a trip. I don't recall ever leaving my house on my bike in pouring down rain.
&nbsp\\;
I recently rode in extremely heavy rain in Louisiana for two days, but I don't live there. Have ridden in light snow in New Mexico and Colorado, but I don't live there either.
&nbsp\\;
I favor nice, clear, cool weather.

I might get in the vehicle if it is pouring down rain in the morning. But if is just a light rain, no problem. Cold down to 30* no problem. Rain when on the road, no problem. Try not to ride on ice, but have.
