Been pretty miserable the last couple of days here. 100+ mark... I rode in the evening just to get on it for a bit and wasn't so bad at 7 pm. In the heat of the day, I mowed my lawn cuz it's my only day off for a week. Working 60+ hours. Got doused by the water hose 3 times while mowing to cool me off. Just brutal.
Took a pic of the thermometer on my back deck today.
First pic here is in December 0f 2010, 7 months ago... second pic is yesterday.
Almost redlined it.
Ya need to get the thermometer out of the sun... temps are taken in the shade in a well ventilated area,,, 4 ft off the ground.... I can get ya a 140 plus reading in the sun....
I read once that ya can add 30* to the shade temps for being on the road, out of the shade and with engine heat from a bike.......That should steep yer tea!!!!!

HaHa ... well aware that this wasn't a true reading... but pretty inflated due to the sun. I actually said I
took a pic of the thermometer... didn't say it was true. Massachusetts did not hit 115 real temp. The true reading for the day was actually 103 deg. F. at the Airport and then index. The visual was just for impact of how hot it is for all of us right now... I'm also pretty well aware of the temps down where you are ... lived in San Antonio for 10 years. Hope ya get cool enough down there to ride in comfort.
Ride safe and often.
LOL the scary part is: how cold was it... if the gauge was in the sun?!?!?! I' don't know how ya do it in the cold!!!!!!!
