Tired of the heat!!!!

Hubby and I took a fantastic trip to the southwest US (my first time there) this past May, and I fell in love with the dry heat. Did that ever feel good! We did tons of hiking in six different national parks and a couple of state parks, and I rarely even noticed any sweat. Here, I drip from my face, nose, hair is completely soaked after jogging, hiking, or riding. Ick, ick, ick!

May is nice. C'mon out in July/August. There is no heat index - it IS 115 degrees! The sun is relentless. Turn on your oven to 400 degrees and stick your head in it. That's Tucson. The pavement will give you second degree burns, so don't fall over.

I've been here 45 years. It never gets easier.

years ago went to visit my sister in NC, RDU area, I didn't know how anyone can move down there. I felt like I was breathing in water!

She said that she does minimal outdoor things in the summer, that is when she stays in and quilts etc. all the stuff she used to do during the winter up here

Often times I think I would rather take 3 months of hot and stay in than 5 months of cold ! You all get at least 9 months of great riding, we're lucky to get 7 (I don't like to ride in the dark on snowy, icy, streets when it is below 0 although there are some brave souls around here that do it !

Hang in there, soon enough it will be snowing up here and everyone now in the heat will be saying what a glorius day it is down there

Anybody else feel like a wuss watching the TdF riders in 100 degree weather?

It was 90 degrees this morning - before the sun came up. Ugh.
