    LOL! That was a good one! Actually, I think we had a couple of 350 degree days here in TX last year...yeah, it was a dry heat though.

    I just ordered a sleeveless jersey...don't know which of you has/had it in your sig line...but I'm supporting my right to bare arms! Just watch them flap in the breeze!

    Can't wait for DST change this weekend! That will give me an extra hour of light after work so I can start riding again. It was 65 yesterday so I set out in a SS jersey and shorts after work and was comfortable. But after only 7 miles I had to turn around and head back...sun was getting low and I didn't want to be riding at dusk without any lights.

    I'll take my record snow, record cold, potholes, and sand all over the roads over those summers any day. Literally, what I think when I get in my car in the morning (no garage) when its 5 below and there's yet another foot of snow to be cleared off the windshield, is that I'd rather put up with this than deal with a car that's 160 inside and you can't touch any part of the black interior because it will burn you. Yep, 4 years in AZ was 4 too many. On the other hand my parents and in-laws live down there, so its a great place to visit, but only from Nov. - March.
    The best part about going up hills is riding back down!

    There are 120 reasons I'm happy to have left "the Valley" (aka Phoenix). You know it's going to be a blasted hot day when it's 9 am and already 100F

    Ha!!

    I guess I'm just a hot kinda girl but I LOOOOOVVVVVEEE my heat!! I can deal with my 3-4 months of butt hot (100+ June-Sept) summer days if it means I train outside year round. I just have to go out earlier during the summer months. I grew up in soggy nor cal where it seemed it rained from December thru May. I HATED that.
    Oh yeah, and it was 86 here today. YIPPEEE!!!

    Well, that's why they keep building and building and building; I guess a lot of people can put up with the 4 months of H***. It makes me sad to see how the valley has been ruined (do I sound old?). I definitely am a New England girl, but I did spend a good deal of my adult life there, my kids are native Zonies, ASU alum etc.
    I, too, will be happy to visit my friends in January, but I have come to the conclusion that it's the changeable weather I like, with something new every 2-3 days.
