I have ridden when it was in the 40s, too cold on the hands, and as high as 104, hot but as my friend says "you make your own breeze, so lets ride!" My favorite is when it is about 70, with little wind or humidity. Since I've been living in Dallas/Fort Worth I've become a real humidity weeny. I can take it, but prefer not to.
And by the way, over here in Fort Worth we do have hills...not mountains mind you, but hills.

Last week people in my club were making comments about my wool jersey, full finger gloves and Lycra tights when it was 70 degrees and sunny. I knew it was going to drop into the mid to high 60s by the end of the ride, and as the sun got lower I'd be chilly. I was dressed perfectly.
Perfect for me is 80-85. I'm not particular about the humidity - I'm not a huge fan of high humidity, but I don't mind it. One thing about high humidity is it really concentrates the flower aromas, and I just love that!
But no wind. I hate wind. For itself, and for the way it stirs up the pollen.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler
