Heat is ok...but the humidity is just not tolerable!!! Thank goodness the breeze is always available on a road bike (natural or self-induced)

102 does not seem so bad as long as you pay real close attention to your body...rest, hydrate, and sunscreen. although different regions have different types of heat. It can be around 95 here but if the humidity is high we could have a heat index of 115-120 mid-day! It is crazy hot not to mention the difficulty to breath...but I remember 112 days in Cali I ran around like it was a cool fall day...just depends on your tolerance and how hot it feels.

What do you recommend to a Californian-gone-Florida girl about riding in the winter in North Carolina? I do snowboard so I have experience in the frigid temps...is it the same just on a different vehicle? with different clothes? (did someone say "shopping"?)
