Wednesday, it was hot and humid enough here in the Twin Cities I took the day off from riding. The dewpoint ended up at 77 degrees. Temp about 91 and heat index of 106. Although will admit we're usually not in the DC category. And that comes from having a couple of business trips out there in 2007 and 2008.
Otherwise, I do sorta acclimate. However, am a heavy sweater. And not the warm fuzzy holiday type. Sorta have a tough time of it once the temps get into the upper 80's or more. Riv content - have spent the rest of this week on the Sam Hillborne. Including (finally) replacing the Brooks B-17 with a new one. Hope to get a couple decent rides this weekend to help break it in. Even with the temps being close to 90. (Have a jam session tomorrow morning, so no early start.)
