ha im about to hop on my bike...in DC...oof

Wow, the weather in DC is almost exactly the same as the weather in St. Louis! We are a tiny bit hotter, and you are a tiny bit more humid, but its only a few percentage points off.

Speaking of which, time to hop on my bike and ride home from work. :(

peace,
sam

Ditto. The east coast is hell is summer (and winter). Life is too short to be that miserable as you flee the stifling air and go from air conditioning to air conditioning and try to plan your day around when you can ride w/o coming back sweltering and dripping sweat. The west is best. :)

:) yeah, it's called crow pass crossing. there are a couple of river crossings, no support, and people usually see bears. i can't wait!

Mmm...east coast winters. And summers... Speaking of sweating out your innards. I lost almost 60 pounds riding in Boston humidity last summer. Hooray for air so thick you need a machete to get through it.

WithNail 07-14-05 05:34 PM

pshhh you guys think we have humidity in the north east!?!?!?! I feel bad for adamkell, I grew up in south florida... now THAT is humidity.

phidauex 07-14-05 06:20 PM

OK, so its now just after 7, about 2 hours after posting my initial post, and I just got home. :( It wasn't all commute, I had to run a few errands around town. But damn, I think I lost some serious weight, which is bad, since I only weigh about 120. ;)

I miss Colorado, since it was hot, but NEVER humid. And I miss Santa Cruz, where it was 72 degrees and blue sky 300 days out of the year.. :( Screw missouri summers.

peace,
sam

Ah the northeast humidity. Nothing like peddling uphill while its 95 degrees out and 90% moisture in the air. I cant wait for the fall thats perfect riding weather.

icithecat 07-14-05 07:56 PM

73 degrees and 48% humidity here today. Life is tough.

flexo 07-14-05 08:33 PM

the best humidity cure in nyc is to get on the river. there is free kayaking at BPC, and great kayak tours at 23rd st and the Hudson. All the mucky, musty humidity smog just blows right off, plus it is usually about 5 degrees cooler. Im trying to work out a new triathalon: riding fixed, kayaking, and.... (so far all i can come up with is eating burgers, cuz i get hungry from the first two)

Its unusually nasty here this week. Always humid, but normally not this bad.

Mercier666 07-14-05 10:33 PM

teadoggg 07-14-05 10:38 PM
