It looks like a good week to go testing :spyder2:'s for heat issues. :roflblack:

 

[MidLifeCrisis]

Definitely called Death Valley for a reason. Phoenix is frosty by comparison.

 

[Ga Blue Knight]

That is one hot ride! Down here in the Deep South we have nothing that hot but add 100% humidity to 110 degrees and you have a whole new meaning to the phrase it's not the temperature but the humidity.

 

[Hovdestar]

Heat.

UFF DA!!!!!!!!!!

And I thought it was getting hot by reaching the 90's here in the mountains for the next few days. <M>

 

[ARtraveler]

You want HOT! ? It was 81 here in Anchorage yesterday. :roflblack::roflblack:

 

[rlynchtx]

Will we see wildlife?

 

[finless]

120 miles west of Jerbear my Spyder is reading 94 ambient.
The Socal July heat wave is here but we rarely get above 100F.

I for sure do not envy Jerbear!

Some of us are fortunate enough to be able to escape home before it gets hot. Others, like those in and around Phoenix, or those in Lost Wages are hard pressed. Unless they want to run at night to seek cooler temps. We do that too, but only when heading East.


Now, are ya ready to win that FREE water bottle?

 

[finless]

Ha! So how do you win the water bottle?

Bob

 

[Chupaca]

Wow..!!

Was 102 here but with the heat your showing I would be hard pressed to tell where the heat was coming from on the roadster...you probably sweat in the pool...!! Keep cool...:thumbup:

You are joking I hope?
But if you make this real, I am willing to go for that ride!
Miles are experience which is something I as a new owner want to do hyea:

I plan to go for Ortega Highway the weekend after my 600 mile service... As you know that road makes the Dragon look like a garden snake
After that Highway 1 out of Pismo....
My riding bucket list is building

[Bob Denman]

Ortega highway?? Take lots of pictures for the rest of us! :2thumbs:

Yes I will take pics and maybe some video.

California has some really windy roads. The rugged coastline and Highway 1 is one of them. There are tons of extremely winding roads with full on switch backs through our many mountain ranges. Not to discredit the Dragon or the Rattler but after watching the videos of them, for sure we have more challenging roads here than that. I know some people that will not even drive a car on some of them.

Jerbear has a road called 74 out of La Quinta into Idlewild that is quite challenging!

I may be old but, if a few guys/gals want to give it a go. I'm game! Ya only live once.

 

[Bob Denman]

Thanks Bob! :2thumbs:

Jer,
I admire your spirit of adventure! :bowdown::bowdown:

Back in the 70's we used to do the Ortega from Riverside up and out of Lake Elsinore to Capistrano and back in a day...............On bicycles. Those were the days.......nojoke

It's a fun road when ya have a motor too.

HOLY COW! I could not even image coming up the Ortega Highway from Elsinore on a peddle bike! That is a MONSTER CLIMB! I am impressed. I have always been somewhat active (Snow Skiing, biking, climbing, swimming, water skiing, etc) but that peddle ride must have been super challenging! I would never have considered it even doable by me. :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:
