We just finished the hottest June on record in an area not noted for June being cool in the past. I rode 22 miles today beginning around 6:15 am and finished up soon after passing a business sign listing the temperature as 100 degrees. That's about the same mileage as I was doing before the latest heat wave arrived in earnest.

It is possible to ride comfortably if there are lots of places to get water and to douse yourself and stay wet. This was actually the first day that I had to resort to riding in a wet t-shirt in order to be safe and comfortable. I'll take this weather any time over the increased humidity we often get in late July and August.
