I grew up in SoCal, I was so naïve I thought SoCal was sunny and warm. Well it turns out in SoCal we don’t know S&%t about warm. Take a look at this comparison... Same day, so different.  Look at the extended forcast. OMG! Dudes? What the Hell???? And I specifically asked somebody last year "Arkansas, won't that be hot?"... and that somebody said: "don't worry about it, it's is the mountains" Mountains? Really? I think somebody was on drugs or was blowing smoke up my wazoo! WTF?  |

It is what it is.  We couldn't change the frikkin weather if we wanted to.  Heating back up here in the Ozarks also.  It are heading right towards dangerous heat-AGAIN.  RIDE SAFE. |

Look at it this way... If the heat is just too much for your old bones, you can take a short ride to the Geriatric Disney World at Branson, Missouri. I'm pretty sure the retirement homes, er, I mean entertainment venues there are all air conditioned...  (Yes, I'm jealous as hell of those that are able to go. Does it show? Ya'll have a good time!) |

Well you gotta look at the advantages here,youll probably have hot water coming ouuta both taps and youre best parking spot is probably gonna be determined by shade not distance.

InZane is in a wet county. I think we will be fine. Cold beer after a hot day is mighty fine. Also, hoping everyone's a/c is working in the rooms. I need my afternoon naps.  Plan your rides early. It won't heat up til afternoon. |

The extended forecast calls for a cool-down. After Sunday, the highs should only be in the mid-90's with low 70's at night.
Thing is, it's hot throughout the continental US this summer... except maybe that NW corner...

Quit ur bitchin guys, that is what they have a pool for.
Go to the shallow end and set ur butt on the bottom and your head shold be out of the water. Oh yeah, take a brella with ya. That is to keep from frying your brain from above.

It ain't the being there part that's going to hurt, it's the gittin there and goin home part that is going to be painful. |

It ain't the being there part that's going to hurt, it's the gittin there and goin home part that is going to be painful. It's fer that very reason i've been doing anywhere from 125 to 300 miles a day in da heat. Trying very hard indeed to at least get used to the heat. RIDE SAFE. |

Which is why I'm caging it. I've learned from past experience that I cannot ride safely in temperatures over 100 degrees. Missing Inzane was not an option, so .......... Be safe! |
