Good Riding Weather or To Darn Hot?

[ks-waterbug]

OK, as some of us are rapidly approaching 40+ days of 100F Temps I thought I might as the question. Are you happy with the heat or is just to darn hot to ride.

it's still better than snow and ice!

What about the third choice of it is hot, but I still ride!

 

[twotonevert]

What semi said, I ride every day I can.

94.5 degrees at 6:30pm here in Southeast TN. This heat sucks...

I voted too darn hot! And its not so much the heat but here in Nebraska the humidity makes it feel like a sauna...tried to get in a ride the other evening and the bugs were SOOO BAD..I rode about a mile out of the driveway and almost couldn`t see out of the visor..I turned around and headed home..should have taken a picture.
I would like to ride to work, but due to flooding I would have to ride gravel now for a half mile, and its hard enough to see driving in the car with all the other traffic....ok I`m done whining

I vote hot , but still trying . You know when its hot after 3 hours of riding and you have red heat marks on your inner thigh and legs . Took 3 days to go away.

It is supposed to be 108 today and tomorrow here. We do cool off to like 105 - 106 range for the rest of the week. I thought I escaped the heat when I moved out of the Mojave. Boy was I wrong

Night rides are nice right now though. Silver lining.

I did not enter a result. It is hot around here, and 100* days are the norm. Some days it is called for to ride, others it is just not in the cards.

On hot days I prefer to leave early in the morning and return in the heat of the day. A cold shower and a glass of ice water hits the spot.

Yep, better than snow and ice.
I have a textile jacket that flows well. I get cold under about 77* ...but coming to a stop still sucks.
