• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage.

Gonna' be stupid hot here today (pushing 100), and the wife and I have a group ride planned. :gaah: Could be worse...tomorrow is likely to hit 110!
 
Monday

Enjoy your Day. .........:thumbup:
 
Valley Springs AR:

We are getting a week of respite from the heat. 72 this AM, Low to mid 80's, nights in the 60's. Windows open, AC off.

Did a beautiful 100 miles yesterday...it was hot and in the low 90's though. We did the Mount Judea (Judy) route again...but from the opposite direction. We went down the 10 mph twisties instead of up. A totally different ride than previous. We did like the views a bit better this direction. The spectacular views were on the left and a bit easier to follow when inching through those beautiful twisties. Did I say we love this place? :yes:
 
San Francisco east Bay area 100+ or high 90's for as far as the forecast can go. AC is working 24/7 right now.
 
Yesterday Phoenix had a high of 114 and a "low" of 90. I saw a few rain clouds in the distance but nothing made it to the metropolitan area. Today is expected to be the same as yesterday. It's not even noon yet and it's already 109. Things could be worse. Yesterday Death Valley recorded the hottest temperature on earth since 1931. It got to 130. In 1931 it got to 131. And the hottest ever recorded was also in Death Valley when in 1913 it got to 134. I think August 2020 will set several heat records..... Jim
 
FINALLY!!!! We got a brief storm tonight. Winds 40-50 MPH with lots of lightning and huge raindrops. I know most of the country doesn't like this kind of weather. But we need it. I do enjoy a good lightning show..... Jim



Well, the monsoon lasted less than 30 minutes. A fast moving desert storm. Lasted just long enough to blow all the neighbors leaves into my yard but not long enough to blow mine to theirs.....
 
Thunderstorms, a little rain actually managing to reach ground level, alternating with 100+ degrees. At least it washed the smoke from the Loyalton (CA) fire out of the air!
 
Tuesday

:coffee: YES, it's raining here this morning. Weather People are saying off and on all morning, we need a good long rain.
Today's high will be only 75°F with some rain and sun.
Have a wonderful day. ..:thumbup:
 
Valley Springs AR: 70 this AM. Low eighties by PM. NO rain on the weather map for our area.

Ride, ride, ride sometime today.
 
Wednesday

:coffee: Got 6/10ths of Rain yesterday. We still need some more. Always take what we can and hope for the best.
Today's high 77°F with some sunshine.
Ryde Safe and Enjoy your Day. .....:thumbup:
 
Great little ryde with my wife today. Temps in the upper 80's ut the California smoke was bad. Across the valley and up to Virginia City ( still the tourist trap it has been for the past 40 + years). Good people struggling in these trying times. Then down off the mountain to Carson City for lunch at FireHouse Subs. Spyder ran like a champ effortlessly pulling up the mountain, 2 up, a mile high. Did I say I really like the Stage 1 ECU flash??? Looking forward to the Nor Cal Spyder NOT Rally in a few weeks.

Well here in Vermont it has been cool,days temps in the 70's, and nights temps in the 40's.

This weekend the temps should be in the 80's and low humidity. No rain.

It kinda fells like Fall! :gaah: and many of you know what that means. In 3 months or so it will be time to bring the sled out, and ride. Than in 2 months, for me it will be time to put the spyder in to hibernation!

Thursday

:coffee: The mornings have been cooler (57°F) and have enjoyed the Ryde Time.
Today's high will be only 80°F and humid. The normal temperatures this time of year are 90°F +. Seems like this year is going by very quickly.
Stay safe and enjoy your Ryde Time. ......:thumbup:
 
We rode 150 miles today. Started out mid 70's gained 5 degrees by 4:00 PM. Blue skies and sunny. Getting into the shaded areas now, an almost 10 degree, instant drop in temp. It's like walking into a cooler. Very nice.

Heat coming back tomorrow for about a week.

Sunday's high about the same 85°F and sunny.

Hot, dry, and hazy from the CA fires. Amazing that we can smell it from this far away. Those with respiratory health problems are being encouraged to stay indoors.

Yesterday, we had some smoke in the valleys here also. Did not hear of any local fires. ???
 
Well living in NorCal the temps have been in high 90s to low 100s for over a week now with little cooling at night. And if it does cool you can’t open windows due to the smoke. I can see air. I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to be like that :roflblack:
 
Monday

:coffee: YES, it's going to be very warm here in Indiana. For me anything above 80°F is hot. It seems as I get older the temperature can be real problem.
Today only 88°F and sunny, low about 71°F.
Enjoy your day and Ryde Safe. ........:thumbup:
