Lately I have been a fair weather rider. Since I'm born and raised in Texas, the heat doesn't usually bother me, but lately it has been. When it's 105F outside without a cloud in the sky and I'm ALREADY sunburned, I just can't do it.
I still ride everyday, though, I usually just wait until 7:30 p.m. to go out
The heat is suffocating sometimes.
I would also like to add to my post that riding in Texas heat can have a negative impact on your social/professional life. When you show up places drenched in sweat, it's a surefire way to alienate people b/c no one wants to be around someone who smells or is disgustingly sweaty.
8 months out of the year, it's great to ride in TX, but during the summer.....ughhhhhh
