Corsair Darling. Remind me in February when I'm b......g about the cold and snow what it was like in August 2006 will you.

Temp at 5pm 95, dew point 74, Humidity 51%, Heat index 110 today.

You did ride today though, right?

I'm about to head out myself; I'm ignoring our 95 degree temperature, with a heat index of 102.

I have a feeling it will be a wet repeat of my ride yesterday. As soon as I stopped pedaling, the sweat just started pouring off of me! Here's a view of my very sweaty face after yesterday's ride - http://denise.smugmug.com/photos/85415154-M-1.jpg

Oh, come on, Surly, we wouldn't be New Englanders without complaining about the weather. Actually it feels slightly like AZ out there now. I think the humidity must have gone down a bit.

But, I rode at 6 AM because I have had enough of this. I am off to Quebec City, where it will be 75 and sunny for the next 2 weeks!

Why do you have to stop riding for sweat to pour? I sweat while I'm riding!

Amazing - it's 93 in the desert with a heat index of 95. And I'm saying "No way!" The humidity is 37 percent out there!

(I'm a whuss)

The great thing was how cool I felt (momentarily) when I started riding again after stopping to pee yesterday. It was about 95, I was 15 miles into a 35 mile ride, and drenched in sweat. I guess I cooled off enough to feel the wind as a nice thing on my soaking wet body! For about...2 minutes.

They say it'll be 20 degrees cooler tomorrow. Hang in there, points east, the cool is coming.

Maybe I should get into S & M, because I had begun to develop a fondness for riding in the heart of the mid-day heat - and always hills too.

I used to avoid that time like the plague, but then maybe I'm just getting old and lazy - unwilling to get up at the crack of dawn to ride at 7 am

**CorsairMac** · 08-03-2006, 09:19 AM

Surly hun - you KNOW I'll be here for you in the middle of winter! and Now I have Friends! (insert evil cackle here)

*thinking to self, I should run out and take some pictures right now of this gorgeous blue sky and bright sunshine. Share them with Surly say in - Feb??)

and Robyn hun: AZ doesn't have that much humidity remember: it's a DRY heat! lol

Cassandra: I LOVE the heat. My preference is to ride between 10 and 3 and I have no problems with that. But wait til this winter when I'm commuting in the mornings when it's 35 out.......man will I start whining! LOL

Yup. So is Hell.

Shucks! I think it was nicer in AZ today than the northeast!! I had a BEEYOUUUTEEFULL ride at 9:00 am! I think it was mid 80's, slight breeze, just enough humidity in the air to not make it feel like a blow dryer. PERFECT!!!
And SOOOO unlike AZ in August!!
BOY HOWDY!!

so why do you think I moved to AZ to begin with?

My mama told me if I didn't change my ways, I'd go to Hell and since I couldn't seem to change my ways..................................

Corsair...

Don't forget what I have left for brains only function at half mast!
