No riding

[Baron14y]

First, there was the lockdown, then, it rained almost constantly for three weeks, now, the feels like temperature outside is 118 degrees. Haven't ridden in over a month.:banghead::gaah:

Sorry to hear that. We try to get out every day. So far we have only encountered 90 degrees. Evening rides a couple hours before sundown are becoming fun, and we do watch for the deer.

Also, the rain here is not constant, so based on radar, we can usually find where it is not raining. Have not been rained on yet.

Hope it gets better for you. :yes:

Get a Camelbak, load it with ice and water and go!

Part of the problem here is that the rains usually come in the evening

Dare I say? When it rains it pours. :roflblack:

Did you really just say that?

Maybe early morning riding would work. It should also be the coolest part of the day. In this area the thunderstorms usually don’t fire up until the afternoon.

Cooled off a little today. Feels like temp is only 110.7.:clap:

The temperature here not only FEELS like 110, it IS 110 (and above). It's supposed to cool down to 98 on Tuesday so hopefully will get an early morning ride in. Evening riding here is not too good as it is still well over 100 when the sun goes down. But, come September, we will have 8 months of excellent riding weather......:2thumbs: :clap: :clap: .....

Yeah, but it is "dry" heat. (110 is hot, dry or humid):cheers:

Welcome to Florida Brother! It's no better up here in Tally. That's why I like my early morning rides into work...However, the ride home is BRUTAL, even on I-10 at 80. All you can do is grin and bear it.:riding:

Got a short ride in today. Had breakfast at a little cafe and then rode to the area where a big brush fire started a couple of weeks ago. Sad to see the desert burned but, it will come back. Did about 60 miles total. It was 93 degrees when I got home at 11:30 AM..... Jim

Sorry to hear that, but welcome to the palm tree state!!!! Move to Maine then you can crab about the snow not leaving soon enough for you and being to cold to ride!!:roflblack:

Yes, it has been untypically hot for late June and now entering into July.

Seeing temps of just under 100 in the shade, and high humidity has been common.

 

[stmike 1800]

With this lock down ,the air pollution is very minimal and the sun is HOT .In the 90's here ,great haying weather .

Early morning for one up. Covid, Heat, Closures, Sharan dust, ... all these are reducing the rides and surely interfere with the long trips we might like to enjoy. I'm spending a lot more time petting the Spyder than riding, but I sure do enjoy the wind when I do. Now that July is bringing the triple digit temps each day I suppose it's time to break out the chill vest and ride a little damp. :shemademe_smilie:

Not riding at due to this broken ankle. Soon I hope. I see the Dr again on the 13th so I hope he has good
news. BTW what is this Saharan Dust y'all are talking about?

The dust cloud from Africa that covered parts of the South last week. It was here, but not to bad. :yes:
