Today, we hit 110 degrees, third day of 108+. So on the way home from work today, I decided to not wear my jacket and I put it away in the backpack. It's actually, too hot for that and I will ride with my jacket even when it's this hot. The windburn is worse than the sweating.

Livin' in the South sucks! It's a little different here, sometimes it is so hot and muggy you can feel the humidity condense on your cooler skin. Kind of a neat feeling, but after a while you are just wet with sweat.

Wah, wah, bloody wah!

I swear, whiney Yanks, the lot of you.

I'd much rather have it ball-sweating hot than bollock-freezing cold and wet.

Sure, you've got to watch and not faint from the heat buildup, but anyone up north or over the pond would LOVE the chance to ride 364 days a year. I know I do.

I feel your pain! Today we got lucky and the high was in the mid 80's and tomorrow will be in the 70's! But by in the end of the week it will be back in the up 80's

I am just saying that if we happen to go body side down, that we will get 2nd degree burns from just lying there on the pavement, while we rethink the whole last 15 seconds of our lives

Yes, I do like the hot South much better than you chilly Northerners

Just after I wrote this the temperature hit 111 degrees, as our new high.

I used to live in Turkey, and it would hit 100 degrees by 9am, and our warehouse would reach 150 degrees during the hot season.

The way I look at it is you can always add clothes to get warm. You can only go so far legally to get cool. If I went naked on the bike when it is 100+, where would I put my keys!!!

110, 114, I don't want to hear it. That's just another day here Phoenix, AZ. try 120 with 85% humidity.

If want to stay cool and not suffer wind burn try putting a sweater on when you ride. It sounds crazy but it works. (As long as your moving)

A sweater Aren't those for old people My Cordura jacket keeps the sweat in and the wind out and if I am lucky sometimes I can get a breeze to go up thru the wrist openings to cool me off. I am thinking perferated leather jacket next.
I thought that AZ was supposed to be a dry heat Still suxs - hot is hot.

Yeah, dry heat that's what they say. July and Aug are the extreme humidity months. I guess you could say winters are dry. The whole thing about the sweater is wearing something with a little perforation, not a cordura jacket, so you can breathe a little without the elements giving you a serious heat blast. I think that's what VYPIR is saying.

Yeah, I think I saw the sun this morning sometime... It was gone most of the day behind the Texas-size cloud over Seattle.

You can always add a layer to stay warm or dry, but you can't add traction.

(OK, maybe those Keith Code things with the outriggers would keep you up for a while)

I feel your pain and then some. I live in Vegas, this summer it was 114 most days. At 9:00 at night it was 107 degrees still, and most bikes were having operating problems sitting at any stop light for anything longer than 2 seconds. Hell, if it's 32 degrees out, Im still riding. If it's hot out , Ill still ride too. I rode in Oregon in December when it was 23 degrees out and patches of ice in spots on the road...very very carefully of course

That's alright, Squid, the temp. will be perfect for riding down here right about the time you're hitching up your huskies for their first big run of the year!!(Now where did I put that Noxzema)!!

[Squidwannabe]

Hey Leon,

Noxzema is out, UDDER CREAM is the way to go!
