    well you hot girls from the southern hemisphere, we're going bonkers here in the PNW from the extreme, un called for and unreasonable COLD!

    but i don't want to be as hot as you are either.
    take a cheap old tube sock, fill it with ice and put it around your neck!

    saved some lives on our cascade 1200 ride last summer when it was 106 degrees, sorry, i don't know the conversion.

    I don't think I would ride in that... not even if I could melt myself onto the bike!

    Last year during our State Championship ITT's (40K) the temperature was in the 90's and may have even hit 102 f (38.8 c) while I was out on the course!!
    I took the neutral water at the turn around, but I dumped most of it over my head and back rather than drinking it!!
    It only got hotter as the men went out during the next hour. One guy even collapsed just after he finished and had to have an ambulance called. It's truely brutal to ride when its that hot.

    it's way too freaking hot

    ughhhhhhhhhhh

    i rode in yesterday, trying not to be deterred by the weather, but it was still 35.8 when i left at 6.15pm. the ride home sucked

    i had my camelbak and was drinking all the way home, but i still had a splitting headache when i got home. not a happy little vegemite

    i dont think i'm built for riding in the heat. we were going to have a social ride round the lake after work this fri, but i've called it off cos it's going to be 37 degrees, and the temp doesnt really drop til about 9pm.

    waaaaaah.... bring back 25 degrees.... i want to ride my bike

    not cooled down

    It's still hot hot hot..It feels like an oven outside and tomorrow's going to be much the same. Ian & I are going to head to the beach in the morning & then come home & clean.

    We went mtn biking/camping for the holiday weekend but it's just too hot to bike. We decided to leave early & come home today although we were going to stop at another area to mtn bike on the way. Well, that idea quickly vanished when we turned onto the main highway as it was closed. There's a major forest fire in the area! We saw some smoke billowing in the air yesterday but weren't sure where it was.

    OMG..click on the above link i posted for the weather and check out the 7 day forecast.
