I left work at 3:30, and made the mistake of gunning it on the way home, with those westerly winds and all. I paid the price as I came to my first stoplight - I felt like my body was on fire with the heat I was generating plus the already hot weather. Once I got home, I took a look at the thermostat (which read 97 degrees in my apartment) hopped into an ice cold shower, and had a couple PBRs to cool down. Picked my wife up from work and we went straight to Osterman beach for the evening. Thank goodness for the lake.
I spent my childhood and young adulthood in the tropics and then the south, so I've gotten used to hot, muggy weather, even if I've been in the midwest for a while now. So while it's sticky, it's no problem for me. I do drink lots of fluids. And I do heat-soak when I stop, like every other human. That rain shower at ~6PM on my way home sure felt good!

I rode home slowly and barely broke a sweat. Wasn't until I got inside that I got drenched . . .
What a strange feeling... if it were like this more than a few days a year it would be impossible to live in this climate IMO.
wouldn't it be a hoot to dress for winter tomorrow?!?!?! layers, boots, goggles
amazing the difference in temps. I'd take the cold any day.
I also like summer over winter. I was uncomfortable today, but in general always prefer heat over cold.

Not me! I will pick Summer over spring winter and fall.
What's the weather tomorrow? I'm ready!
Just got back from a 30 mile ride. Logan Square to Wilmette's Gillson Park beach and back. Taking a dip in the lake was a major payoff. Even better than AC!
Bump.
