    We've had an unusually dry and cold summer here. Right now it's 55!

    I suppose you're used to what you grew up in cuz I'm dead when it hits 80. Of course, 80's here always comes with high humidity.

    Don't overdo it and take care of yourself with those high temps - sounds dangerous to me. I'll try and send some cold your way!

    We've had relatively cool weather for July. The other night it was 45 degrees! It's been very rainy although we've had sun for the past few days, with more normal temps for summer, which has improved moods around here.
    I have a family gathering tomorrow (outdoors) so I hope our good luck holds out.

    We had high humidity and heat this past week. Yesterday it was 100% humidity, and the day before 92% so whatever the temperature was I had to add about 8 degrees more. A cool front moved through and it was in the 60's this morning. Ahhhhhh. My bike speeds were much better and I didn't feel like I was riding in a sauna. Honestly, as hot as it gets here (in the 100's) I don't know why I would ever want to ride the HHH.

    Wanted to add: I found wearing a cap under my helmet makes me feel cooler by keeping the sun of my head--even though my helmet is well ventilated. I've noticed that when I don't, I have sunburn on my part. The cap also keeps sweat out of my eyes.
