Yep, it's been the same around here as well. Good to know others have to suffer like us Pennsyltuckians.

stole your bike
I really dislike this kind of weather, just sucks the energy right out of me. I've been riding really early in the morning to avoid the sun because that feeling of breathing in very hot air isn't pleasant.

It has been so humid that I wouldn't doubt that when the USGS collects river gauge data around here the error bar is in 10's of meters.

downside: it's so hot and humid that I'm not inclined to ride more than just "base" type effort right now. upside: no racing in the near future means this isn't a bad time to be riding "base". Plus I'm getting more heat acclimated, finally.

Rode last friday here in NY around 2:30pm, over 90 degrees F, over 65% humidity:

if you want to brag about humidity, I'd suggest using dew point. It's a much more reliable indicator than relative humidity, which is relatively (see what I did there?) meaningless by itself.

I rode the cycling portion of the NYC triathlon today! 25 miles.
But actually, it didn't seem hot. Maybe I'm just getting used to it.

I hate people from California so much.
As a side note, be aware of which bottle you grab to dump on yourself. I poured HEED all over myself earlier and didn't realize it till orangey goodness was pouring down my face.

Are you sure about that?
