Or, you could just ride in the rain. This time of year I pray for rain as I'm riding. Same temperature up here, heat index was about 110 around 2 this afternoon. Now that it's rained some things are down to the mid 90's......though that just means MORE humidity.....I'm confused, can you get more humid than 100% ?!?!?! :lol: :??:
Ride safe

Hot
The heat index here is about 105 degrees. The temp. is actually 95 degrees w/ 98% humidity and it's been raining every day all day for the last week. It's so damn steamy you can hardly breathe. I'm jonesing for a ride. I've been in the cage more this last week than I have been in a year. I hope we get back to our normal afternoon thunder showers that usually begin about 3:00 pm. At least then you can get some riding in.
Bitch, bitch, bitch. :cuss: :cuss: :cuss:

Who else is praying for a long winter? I swear I need to move to Maine or Montana (or insert other cold-weather prone state) or something and just ride a DP all year......ah, now that's a nice idea. Ride safe

I've been the same way. It hasn't been raining here as much as it has been > 105° for the past 2 weeks. It doesn't look like it's going to let up either. We got just enough rain the past two days to make it VERY steamy outside, and almost unbearable.
I can't wait for Fall.

100 or more here every day. 108+ index. Tried to rain today but went around where I am. Just made it steamy. Attempted a ride in the evening but the bugs were so bad I had to retreat. Hit one large dragon fly that left a bruise over my Wyvern Tat!

Please send some of that rain this way. My normally white Jack Russels are now gray with all the dust they stir up. Oh how I wish that it would rain. Rain down on me.

It rained pretty hard here yesterday for about 15 or twenty minutes then quit and then we got our complimentary steam bath. It has been so dry here half of my grass is dead, when you walk on it it sounds like its frozen, (crunch,crunch). There is a burn ban here because its so dry, but yet the humidity is so high that you suffocate outside.
