I don't mind riding in the heat. If it's dry enough my cooling system works great. The last 3 afternoons it's been in the upper 80's with high humidity with the threat of thunderstorms. For northern Vt this is about as hot as it gets. Tuesday I went out at my usual time (3:30 ) with blue skys and puffy clouds. When I was at my turn arround point the skys looked nasty. I cranked it up so I could beat the rain but I doubt that rain could have gotten me any wetter!!!! Took a cold shower and was still sweating for 10 min or so after. To quote fifthcircle riding in the heat is preferable than not riding in the heat!
