98 degrees - convince me to ride
It's 98 degrees. Would someone please try to convince me to do the Thursday night group ride?

No. Go a cold beer instead.

it will be cooler by the time it's ride time or at some point you'll be riding into a headwind. it's 97 degrees in SA but this is after 100+ earlier this week. this maybe the cool day. i'll be riding.

Become injured for awhile, where you can't ride period....all weather looks happily rideable afterward. I actually enjoy riding in the heat YMMV

sip a favorite cool beverage under the A/C unit...
there will be other days (nights) if it ain't fun, what's the point? |

For me it's not the temp but the air quality.

Just finished a moderate ride which started at 98 degrees and 102 when finished. I live in the south where we expect low to mid 90's with lots of humidity. Today's ride at the lower humidity really wasn't too bad at all. I guess it is just what you get used to riding in.

I'd like to say go for it, but not much I should say because I cancel if the road is wet. |

I used to live in Albuquerque, NM...the worst part about riding wasn't the air temp, but the radiant heat from the pavement. After being out for a few hours, the whole bottom of my foot just felt like it was on fire.
Grab a couple of small ziplock bags and stuff them full of ice...thrown them in your jersey pocket...that oughta keep you cool. I used to tear a small hole in the corner and let them drip out...they'd drip onto my shorts and evaporate before they ever got a chance to drip down my leg. Made for some funky dried up salt patterns on the shorts afterwards. Just go ride...you won't regret it afterwards! Tai |

98* ? That's a cold front.
If you do ride drink a lot. |

Cheers. Riding is an activity, like many others...just choose another.
