we got lucky saturday, overcast sky and in the mid 80s wich felt awesoem compared to the upper 90s weve had. i tell ya the cloud cover made all the difference.
For the past seven months ,it's been 90+ degrees/hi humidity everyday here in Florida...most times by 7:30 ,it's already 80! I usually go riding on impulse when time allows (and due to the stress at work everyday, I "HAVE" to go riding after work to unwind,alot ...after 4:00pm )so proper hydration before/during/after is priority one. Besides the usual drinking regime,using vented riding gear and water soaked jersey, I chill under the ez-up to keep out of the suns killer rays and heat. I can't stand the heat,but my need to ride ,even if only 2 hours, is theraputic! Guscycle
NE Oklahoma has just had 26 days in a row with temps above 100 degrees and usually more like 105 and two days ago it was 114. I just moved away from there and heard from a friend who said it was 100 at 10:00 pm. Bad news for them is the hot part of the year is usually late August and early September. I'm feeling pretty good about the low 90s in central MO.
