"Riding" in the heat is no big deal. Its the stopping that brings the sweat.

At least the weatherman is honest in saying, "I don't fucking know."

Spent 6 hrs giving on the road lessons today....101 on the bike therm..I was cold......

Otb trick..... go get gnarley old sweatshirt...throw in sink full of warm water.....
..take out and lightly wring out (just so it isn't dripping, but you want it heavy.

Put on leather or mesh pants, t shirt, boots. Start bike, put on wet sweatshirt, and mesh or leather jacket over top.

Go riding...if leather jacket, unzip chest vents and stay cool 4-6 hrs depending on how fast you are going even in 100+days with high (today 89%) humidity.

At one point when I was on the freeway, I had to partially zip chest vents as I was chilly..........

I rode thought a tornadoe today, a 3 hour trip took 6 hours, including one 30 minute stretch where I shut the bike off and stood in the rain because the road crews had to clear a downed tree off the highway.

Yeah, those road crews in merry old land of Oz take forever... damn munchkin labor unions and their excessive breaks.

Why would you do that?

It's their job to pass you safely.

I saw a guy crash recently from doing this and every rider's meeting I've ever been to has specifically warned not to do this.

I find I get really tired in this kind of heat and it takes away some of the enjoyment of the ride. Thankfully the humidity has broken here.
