90+* Temps in the Northeast = WHOOHAH!!!

Happy summertime people! It's about time. March was unusually warm and sunny every day, April was cold and rainy every day, May was a mix and now summer is both here in solar spirit and date (my nephews remind me June 20th is the first day).

Enjoy your summer. Viper will have weekday Ride Reports now, on occassion, as I can get home a bit early and ride in the heat; when the temps go to 90* or above, I <3 it.

I briefly think about whining when it's 90+ and humid here in Minnesota...but then I remember that these conditions are a he!! of a lot better than the other extreme we get here.

So yesterday to celebrate, I did 81 hilly solo miles in the high heat and humidity, and followed up with 61 solo miles in only slightly cooler weather this morning.

What do you do for work, and where can I apply? Sounds awesome.

Don't forget, as any new englander knows... it's not the heat. it's the humidity.

We had amazing weather last week. I rode my bike, my motorcycle, hiked, slept with the windows open, didn't use the heat or a/c in my house for a week. I tried to enjoy it as much as possible because as much as we know it is coming this kinda heat SUCKS!

What did they do in the old days when everyone wore suits

I live in Florida it is hot I don't use a.c.
Old home with lots of windows
And pool in the back yard
When my dog and I walk we notice no one is like us ,everyone has the a.c. On and windows closed . It is hot right now so in the pool I go.
Cheers

I am still feeling good that I rode to work this morning instead of riding home this evening.
