Jeebus... and summer is still a month away.
It is FREEKIN' HOT!!!
- Thread starter N8 v2.0
- Start date
summer starts a month early in the south. i love it. we've been in the mid 80's low 90's for a couple of weeks and i am soaking it up. i love when i can't get from my house to the car before i break into a sweat. summer means beer, swimming, tank tops, flip flops,vacations, cookouts, riding. the whole season should be a national holiday.
We have had a very cool spring so far. Normally we get hot wet air from the gulf that brings hot weather and big storms. So far this year we have been getting cooler dryer air out of the north, I love it.
It hit 99 in Dallas yesterday and it was 98 here. At least our current 4 week long drought has pretty much sucked all the humidity out of the air and it dryed out all the bike trails.

The trails are dry, but it is still high 90s with a pile of humidity.
Yeah, It was 109 here yesterday in Phoenix. At this time of year, we head out to the trails at 6 A.M. and get back to the house around 10....
It's kinda funny... my dad lives in Tucson, so I go out there an actually prefer the warmer temps but dry air over the typical northeast humidity of summer.

We get the HEAT and the humidity.
yea, I've heard - that must REALLY suck!loco said:
Hmm... amazing how locations can differ... I'm fairly certain here in the NorthEast, we are having one of the coolest Springs in recent memory. My heater even kicked on this morning... whereas over the past few years, I'd have the A/C on by now...
it was in the 40s this weekend. yay for new england.

We turned ours on for the first time on Friday. Until then, it has been very pleasant with just open windows.Ian F said:

Not here... we've been running the AC since mid Apr.
It was freaking amazing this weekend. Highs in the mid 70's, sunny with the occasional puffy white cloud. After spending some time out west all the greenery just seems amazing.
ITs freekin' cold and wet here mate, 8-13C temp and lots of ****ty rain and wind....
So is it better to ride in the morning when it is mid 70's and 70% humidity or wait until the afternoon when it is the mid 90's and only 30% humidity?

Afternoon - you knew I thought that.Wumpus said:
That's only because you can't get moving early enough.loco said:
After our ride Friday, it got pretty hot sitting out on my deck with post-ride food and beer. It had to have gotten up to 68-69 degrees. I even had to take off my long sleeve shirt.
I hope you busted out the sunscreen and kept hydrated.I Are Baboon said:
I hate summer. Worst season EVER! (IMO, that is) It wouldn't be so bad if it was summer in the PNW, but I am dealing with summer in L.A. The smog gets even worse, fires, I can't enjoy my coffee because no matter how hot I brew it, it still feels cold. And I have to get up at the ass crack of dawn so I can ride without getting heatstroke. And I don't care where you are... 95 - 100 degrees is still 95 - 100 degrees. I don't buy that "But it's a DRY heat" BS. It's still friggen HOT!
So this year I am buying a big fat air conditioner for the bedroom and I am living in there all summer. I don't care what the GF says about the electric bill, dang it! I am not going to be a sweaty pig for the next 5 months!
F-U, summer. F-U in your stupid hot summer ass. Bring back Old Mr. Winter!

I used to live in New Orleans, which does not even come close to the misery of Central Texas. I live in San Fran now, which has average highs of 58 in January to 71 in September. The lows range from 46 to 56.
You can't beat this weather, and it only costs me 4 times as much to live here!

amen brutha.Of course the smart thing would be for me to MOVE (instead of just whining about it!). 
The five year plan calls for us to move north in year 5. All I have to do is make through the next 4 - 5 summers. Ack! Any of you PNW peeps want to give me a job so I can move?
me---> :nuts: <---summer
