Only 1/2 an hour from the mountains here in CO, so ride regardless and just head for higher alt's where it's always cooler. And do all I can to avoid the I-25 parking lot running through Denver.

 

I live in west Texas so its always 100+ in the summer. Its not fun but I think its better than freezing my a$$ off in the winter. Either way its my only transportation so I have to ride.

 

I ride when I can. It's not always comfortable or pleasant, but it's nice to do more than commute. I work rotating shifts, and I recently got married. When I work nights, I can't ride. When I have the weekend off (with my wife), it's hard to get away, so if it's 100+ out, and I'm home alone, I'll be riding. I rode almost 400 miles yesterday, and it was HOT!

 

it's always hot in Elk Grove, I remember being there in March for a basketball game (1975) being from San Francisco -- it seemed like it was 200 degrees there -- our team lost -- the other team had some skinny tall dude by name of Bill Cartright

 

I'd rather ride in sub-freezing temps than 100+.

You can always put more on in the Winter to stay warm. You can only take off so much during the Summer before you get arrested.

Riding in 100+ temps is like riding inside a convection oven, or with heated blow dryers mounted to your bike constantly blowing on you.

There is simply no way to stay cool. "CoolER" maybe, but not COOL.

 

I've already got short legs and 100+ is still hot, but I ride anyway.
