[QUOTE=RonE;11065202]The weather here has been in the mid 90s for a couple of months now and the humidity is brutal. I do believe that you get accustomed to the climate where you live, and thus I think that Florida's heat may not bother me near as much as it would those from cooler climates.

I agree that you get accustomed to the climate you live in. Our weather in South Texas is similar to Florida in regard to sun, heat and humidity. While I normally commute three or four days a week, I find myself taking an extra day off in July and August and take a long evening ride instead. As the weather begins to break somewhat in September, I'll be adding that day back in.

It's funny that hot weather is a show stopper for many while, in the South, cold weather is much more intimidating.
