Too Hot to Ride

[mixie]

I feel your pain amy. Im out in Pasadena....yesterday was 106 all day. I went for a ride Saturday and it was 80 degrees out by 7am!!

I wanted to ride today but didn't get up in time and Im very sad Im thinking if it cools off below 90 this evening I'll head out for a short ride.

To make matters even worse I went swimming at the beach yesterday and have a rash all over my arms and legs. So Im hot and itchy. FUN!

Amy-
I little hint, if you don't make it out first thing in the morning, and you have the day off, wait until around 5:30. Down here the sun is still setting around 7:45, so I can go out and get a good 2 hours in, and it starts to cool off around 6:30. Or if you want a shorter ride, go out later. As long as you are home by dusk(not safe to ride on the roads after that,imho) you should be good:-)

I never ride mid day, but I do ride early evening a lot because of my work/school schedule.

Yeah, I actually do most of my riding early evening. It just seems so horribly hot and humid (humidity is not something we are used to here) even at my usual evening time. Maybe I'm just lazy. haha... Actually, I'm just not used to having so much free time during the day and all I can think about is riding.

It's been just horrible. Even around 7 p.m., it's still too hot to ride!

I think it's supposed to break tomorrow -- I hope, I hope, I HOPE!

As much as I am tired of the heat, I really hate the waning daylight. We are surrounded by mountians so the sun is not up until almost 6:00 and it is setting at about 6:45. I can't help but feel that winter is just around the corner.

Boo hoo............just come back from a few days away in Devon (UK) and I think it actually reached 65 degrees, or maybe went as high as 68!

YAY.................but at least we were able to go on our bikes, 26 miles and didn't even break out in a sweat.

Would like it a little bit warmer here in the UK, just feels like autumn is so near, sorry, I mean fall.
