Exactly what does "heat" mean in Squamish Canada in the summertime, And do you ride year round?[/quote:3fllxqzz]
How does clear skies, sunshine and 90/100 F in the shade sound ? Yes it is hot with ATGATT but I manage. I can ride all year long but choose to ride very little in the winter. Squamish gets down to freezing and bit colder but not by much. I could easily ride to Vancouver in the winter but the foggy face shield exercise is a downer to a relaxed ride. Parts of the B.C. interior make Squamish look and feel cold in the summer. That is getting way too warm for me. I like this climate without the horrible extremes that some areas can have. The Canadian prairies can be hot in the summer and super cold in the winter. I have experienced temps colder than 50 below F and wind chill factors of well below 100 F. Would I move back to the prairies.............never never never !
