Summer in New Mexico is always a 100+, so yes I ride, but mostly on the highways, not in town.

I ride for pleasure, so I avoid days when the temps are unbearably hot. Riding in 100+ degree weather is not enjoyable for me, so I avoid it altogether.

Dude, if I have to strap a friggin ice pack on my chest to ride around in the heat, I'll just stay home and lay out by the pool. Seems kind of ridiculous if you ask me, but to each his own I suppose.
