the guy factor

HA! HA! He wore himself out!

Yea, around here... Dallas, TX, I have been riding in 100F degree weather for about 2 months now... I know what heat does to a person! Gotta take a nap after my rides (I typically do 30-50 miles a ride).

I think here in central TX we are going on our 3rd straight week of 100 and up in the afternoons. It's crazy. I try to ride early in the morning when it is only 85 or so if I am going to ride. Although if DH wants to ride we have to go in the evenings, last night I watched the temp so we could go ride. The last time I checked at 7:30 pm it was still 98 degrees. I told DH forget it. We had ridden the day before at like 5 while it was still over 100. I wasn't doing that 2 days in a row. LOL

I hear ya lady!

I have been riding in the 100F degree heat though, to get ready for Hotter Than Hell this coming weekend! It has been great training!

What is really miserable is RUNNING in this stuff! I wait until 8:00 PM, but it's still 98 (like you said). So, I just have to go do it, and suffer for about 40 minutes.

I was talking about regular temps, not factoring in the wind chill. It usually isn't that windy here in the fall, but early spring is. What I meant was that it can be 45 degrees out and not really windy, but when you are cycling at 15-25 mph (or at any speed), it feels a lot colder than when you are snow shoeing, hiking, running, x country skiing at a much slower speed.
