    Another rider here from NC. We typically start our rides at 7:30 or 8:00 in the morning - have gone as early as 7:00 when we were doing an extra long ride. We try to be finished by or before noon. We do shorter rides late in the afternoon. I hope that we get some relief from this extreme heat and have some more normal temps for the season. 80's would be more typical. Riding in 90+ temps and pushing it would be hard on many riders - including me!

    I've noticed that I haven't acclimated too well to the heat this year. Mind you, we've only had a handful of really warm days, so far....but, normally I can tolerate warm temps better than the cold. The cold seems to worsen my asthma, while the heat and humidity don't affect it at all. I just don't care for the inconsistency of the temps in my area lately...one day it's 96 (like yesterday) and the next day it's in the 60's (today)...ack! If the temps would stay in a certain range for a while, it would be easier to acclimate...rather than this constant up/down crap.
