I have to admit . . . (or, Is it too hot for you?)

. . . as much as I like riding in any weather, when temps are above 55°F, I enjoy it way better.

Now, what's the upper limit? I ran in Houston couple of years ago in 100°F (don't even ask me about the 'heat index'), and survived.

If it gets really really really hot this summer, at what point you'd say, 'Nah, I'll better take air-conditioned bus'?

when it's above 90 or so I have a few tricks I use :

cut the sleeves off those ugly t-shirts laying around the house and go sleeveless

wicking visor under the helmet

squirt water from water bottle onto helmet when riding

if it's still too hot...ride under the el tracks (shade beats sun)
