You are absolutely right. It was a grand day for a ride. 76degrees, no humidity, a breeze from the NW. Absolutely marvelous!

Yep... Great day! It was 25C when I went out, with no more than 40 per cent humidity, light wind from the West and a clear sky. I got about 60 km of off-road cyclcocross -- including ten very intense hill intervals. Fine day. Couldn't have asked for better. :D

Dirtgrinder,
You know better than to put those things in direct sunlight!

Aaah, just your typical day in the S.F. Bay area: 78F max, sunny skies, low humidity, nice breeze (not too windy). Up on Skyline Bld. it was probably 67F at around 1030A when I got there. Did a nice 40mi ride on the new bike just to break it in.

I know. It doesn't get direct until evening. That pic was taken at 6:30 pm CST. But the heat index here today was 110+. Humidity was stifling. But I rode!!!! :D

Yep... now you understand why winter is so popular in Queensland!

Yes it was a great day for riding.
84 degrees when I left the house and only 89 when I got home. A few clouds and light breeses.
Friday and Saturday were VERY windy -- 15+ mph. Seems it was a headwind when I was going uphill or getting tired. :(

Great day for sweating down here! High's near 93 F and humidity around 90-95% with a "feel like" temp near 110 F.
Yes, I rode and I was drenched at the end!
Nothing like getting a ride in, and simultaneously being in a Sauna.

Well, here on planet Mercury, it's been in the 90's (F), temps and relative humidity, every day since who knows when.
Drink early and often.

I used to live in No. Va. and dreaded the summers there. I used to get on the road at 5:30-6:00AM get try to get back by noon, at the latest. The rest of the year is nice, 'tho.

What is summer ?
When does it arrive ?
16c here (under 70f ?) still waiting for the sun.
