For the first time in 2009, it is way too hot for me to ride.
95-degrees outside. Went for a ride and I'm baked!
Might as well just hit up a beach or something, what a ripoff.
Rest of the week should be ok with averages of 70-degrees.

Yes. It's just too darn hot. My wife is trying to get me to mow the lawn and ten other chores. But if it's too hot to cycle, it's obviously too hot to work around the house!

I have to point out here that hitting the beach may not be quite the alternative you're seeking at the moment....

Just joking anyway....but jeez, dynamic, we think nothing of riding when it's in the 90's here in Washingotn...because we get a lot of it and of course it comes with 90 per cent humidity...heck, we even have winter here. What am I doing on the east coast anyway?

It was snowing today in St. Paul; I feel zero sympathy for you.

The seabreeze made it OK around OC on PCH. I do think I'll avoid the Newport Back Bay tho, that loop is crazy hot some days.

Just go out at 6 or 7am -- seriously, the weather will be better and the roads quieter (at least on the weekends)

as if my tan lines weren't bad enough...this weekend did me in. 95+ in south orange county. I now have a little tan circle on the top of each hand from the opening above my glove velcro strap.

Dude, heat has nothing to do with your tan. It could have been 45 degrees and you'd still have that lovely little tan circle. Sunblock is your friend if you are worried about it.
