Ugh...that has to be one of the worst places to ride in the summer, I think. I lived in NC for many years, and we had some days that were that bad, but certainly fewer than in Texas and for a shorter number of weeks. I feel better about eastern WA weather just reading this -- it's hot but not humid. Much better. I sure don't seen anything wrong with taking the worst couple of months off...it's no different from those up north taking Dec-Feb or so off; your impossible season is just summer rather than winter. No apologies needed!
