Default How hot is too hot for you?

Ok here in the south, the temps are finally creeping to their June-August norms. For those of you who joy ride and use your bikes for recreation/leisure how hot is too hot before you say no not today?

Bought mid-80's and I'm done. Depends on the humidity too.

The humidity here sucks too. I don't know how the folks in Florida ever get to ride. Especially knowing that it will rain any given minute.

I don't know how hot too hot is for me. I've never experienced it.

I do sometimes change my riding depending on the heat/humidity. Here, humidity kills us so I'll just go at night or in the morning on those kinds of days.

Otherwise, I'm pretty much good to go in any kind of heat.

I complain about the snow all winter long so I figure I can't really complain about the heat too.

I'm a Phoenix native and I currently live in Okinawa. I ride year-round. There's no such thing as too hot.

Don't really have a "max"temp I'll go out in.

Been out 100+ weather with the leather jacket, jeans. gloves and boots.
If it's above 95 and humid I'll have my water pack.

What can I say, I'm a fair weather rider. I ride for fun. When I'm baking in my gear it's not fun.
