9.15 a.m. 85ยบ, 80% humidity. That's in the shaded part of the patio, so don't know how hot it is in the sun.

I'm a WUSS. At those temps I will live in my Air conditioned Ranger. I did my first long distance ride that started out in the high 30 Cs. Never again. And a short ride isn't worth the sweat.

100's soon here in central Texas. Sunblock and water. Never give up riding! Might change riding gear to speedo, tank top, and flip flops. :crackup

Speedo ! That would be ugly. I don't mind the heat until I get into traffic. We only have 3/4 million people here but they are all funneled into two or three roadbeds and none know how to drive or even the basic rules of the road. Makes for some extremely long waits in traffic.

Mid to upper 90's & humid here in Ohio for the past week. Just got relief today with temps in the 80's. Because I ride with full gear, I have not been riding much. Would look rather crazy with a jacket on sweating bullets & I'm not going to risk riding without it. Everyday there's a MC accident/fatality in the news. Not worth the risk. I'm with WW, I'll just cruise in my Jeep and keep cool.

Riding in full gear on a hot day is uncomfortable and you may wind up sitting in a puddle of your own sweat but far better than no gear and laying in a pool of your own blood. Ultimately it is all about choices and the risk we are willing to accept when riding. A big :2tup: for folks who choose less risk.

It's been in the mid 80's to low 90's here with 78% humidity for a few days. Hot. This is the weather where I shed the jacket but keep everything else. If I want to ride that's the way I have to do it. I see riders all the time in shorts, bare chested and flip flops. I won't do that.
