We're in the midst of our first really hot spell of the summer, with high humidity and afternoon temps in the 90s. I must be acclimated pretty well by now because it hasn't bothered me, and my morning commutes have been very pleasant. I was considering riding a metric commute along the local greenways today, but opted for two 45-miles commutes instead. Yesterday was the first, and it felt surprisingly cool along the greenways in the afternoon. The shade makes a huge difference. On my usual afternoon commute route, I get stuck at two very long traffic signals on 6-lane roads in full sunlight and heat radiating off the pavement. None of that on the greenway, or having to stop for red lights either. Perhaps I'll tackle the metric commute next week or the week after if the weather cools down or dries out a bit.
