I hear it's really hot down that way.
We have our usual high humidity - 81% even though it is only 74deg

Upper 80s and very humid here today, as it has been all week. Thunderstorms last few evenings as well. We skipped spring all together and went for summer.

103 here and rising. I'm inside with my pug as well.

I'm home trying to catch up with all my schoolwork so hopefully I can get out on a ride tomorrow when the sun sets. But I am not sure if I can handle the heat though-- sucks that the only time I have to get on a ride, its either gusting 40mph winds or its extremely hot. This will be my 4th summer here, and I think I am slowly finally getting more acclimated to the excessive heat.

Funny thing is, on the news there were warnings about an excessive heat wave this weekend. This happens every year! Its not even really that bad here, wait until we hit 110+ temps!

Yikes, I don't how how you guys ride in that heat in with the sun beating down. Even in the hottest part of the year, I can barely ride at night. Even with a mesh jacket, drifit, etc I get way over heated.

Can't help it, that's how much I love the track. And a few buds are going too, so we can have mini races.

I'd rather be covered then have the sun directly on my skin.

Its different being covered in light cotton, an another being covered in a helmet, jeans, boots and a jacket

I am going to arab route now, no more skimpy clothes when the sun is out, it really does make it so much hotter with the sun beating down when your skin is not covered.
