Can't wait for that 10-degree drop to the 90's.
A breath of fresh air.

Atomic fireballs taste like mentos.

Your digital Thermometer reads 'out-of-range, warranty voided, now get me out of here!'

At a stoplight all the grease melts out of your hubs

i rode a criterium last tuesday night at 530pm- the official announced at the start line that it was 107 (dallas tx)-- it was so hot that no one, and i mean, NO ONE chased the little breakaway that happened 20 yards from the start- and that includes me

All of BFCNV complains about the hot summer weather, while you're stuck in holland where it's still wet, chill and windy.
