I havent gone biking in a week because of this. Its not enjoyable anymore, at all. Its like being in the pit of hell.

When its nice temperature outside, your enjoy the ride even if u are going up a grueling hill. With temp in the 90's and the humidity going through the roof, its a lost effort trying to get me to go bike, lol.

Here is a vote for the miwest - come to Milwaukee, WI for SuperWeek and you'll see guys from all over the world swearing left and right about the weather. 18 days of racing, all averaging in the high 80 - low 90 range this year with humidty in the 65-85% range, dew points in the upper 60 - low 70 degree range.

2 Sunday's ago, I did 42 hard miles - weighed in pre-ride at 198. Post-ride (before passing out for a few minutes) 190.5 lbs and that included 4 - 28oz. bottles of Cytomax along the 2 hour circuit.

Frozen tundra in winter, sweltering heat in summer.

I agree with Rob. We had a Triathlon here on one of the hottest days and it was scary humid. A whole week of this weather coming ahead for SE WI :-)

I'd like to ride at night during this weather, but even with the cateye on I have a hard time seeing glass etc.

It isnt that bad down here, just a little more humid than we are used to. My relatives from Hong Kong were saying how dry it was just a couple weeks ago.

Here in Virginia Beach we have had humidity in the 60-80% range and heat advisories for a good portion of the past month. I must say I actually enjoy it. Im not exactly sure why, but I do.

Just drink every time you think about it, bring two bottles with you on every ride, and dont worry about the sweat. Look at all the lazy people speeding by you in their air conditioned cages, and pity them.

Plus once that cool fall air comes, we will all feel invincible.

Yeah humidity is a killer. Dry heat I can take but I struggle with the humidity as well. I now live in Hong Kong where it rarely gets lower than 70% humidity for 6 months of the year. With temps in the low to mid 30's its a hard life if you want to get out on the bike.

Still do it though cause I love it. Carry two water bottles and a 1.5L camel back to ward off dehydration. Its a bummer to carry so much extra weight but better than the alternative.

My face chapped just reading your post.

Locals in Phoenix and LV say that you actually do sweat, it just evaporates in the dry air so quickly that it doesn't seem like you are. Could be true.

Our air is dry here in Salt Lake City and riding is sweet in all but the 6 or so combined coldest/hottest weeks of the year.

That's definitely true. Even some of us stuck in the more humid areas have probably experienced this: that dry, salty crust all over your face at the end of a hot ride? Sweat that evaporated as it formed. Although there are some days where even the sweat on the face doesn't evaporate, despite the built-in headwind of being on a bike.

Someone in a car once asked me at an intersection as we waited on the light, "It's 6:30 in the morning and you're pouring sweat! How can you stand it?" I said, "stand it?- hell I LIVE for it."

Nothing beats getting out and spending yourself like that. (preaching to the choir here- i know)

Here in Jersey is as muggy and humid as it can possibly get. My nemesis!
Yesterday I did a very hilly ride in high humidity, uff! worn me out, specially going up
a certain long hill, with some small pitches at 12.5 %. To make matters worse the other riders
were in good spirits which of course made them keep pushing the pace specially in the hills.

One of the best lines I've heard of Houston.... A friend was moving up to Virginia, and I was possibly going to have to move to Houston. I was complaining of the heat and humidity of Virginia summers (having moved from Upstate NY), and he said of Houston: " I loved Houston, lived there for the last 20 years. But while it is hot up here, living in Houston during the 6 months of summer is like living inside of a dog's mouth. And not a poodle, but a St. Bernard's mouth." Having visited Houston in the summer, I can say that I concur. ;)

another vote for wisconsin, feels like its been 90 degrees and 75% humidity for a whole month now.
