41 in the morning and 53 on the way home.

Will soon be in the dark in both directions...at least the sunset was pretty tonight.

36 on the low ground, 38 on the high ground. It did break 50 though. 4 miles on gravel and 1 mile on pavement @ 80 makes it a quick trip.

13 F. I got thumbs up from two car drivers on the way in. Guessing they were caged riders. :D

Down in Florida this morning it would have been about 24F....had I rode the S10. Trying to shake a cold for a couple weeks and opted for the Accord. However, tomorrow is shaping up nicely...

Warmer today than yesterday. By almost 30 degrees!
Feels like Coastal Texas Winter again. Thankfully.

Even removed the thermal pant liners this morning. Sweet.

108 Degrees. Good thing was it was only for my 360 mile commute. But some of it was a bit warmer at 117. Feel the burn.

Not sure which I prefer. My ride to work at 12 F in January or your 108.

I know I have done 105 through Kansas City but not sure I have ridden warmer. I did do -5 F a couple of years ago BEFORE I got heated gloves and now my limit is 10 above. Even an old guy can learn to survive.

we are told here that mid week we will have 33C (90F) in south UK - this is a big deal!

we aren't used to it, for a couple of days we will love it but if it goes on we get grumpy (no air con at home over here) - trains will slow down, roads will melt, old people will fill the hospitals and I will be having cold baths every night after commuting through the hell that is city traffic

at the weekend the whole country will crawl to the coast and fight over each spare square foot of sand

and when it ends we will have more rain in two days than the last 3 months

and people wonder why the Brits always talk about the weather

84 degrees this morning, on the way home it will be 92 but surprisingly the heat doesn't really bother me at all on the bike. Mesh jacket, leave the visor open and I'm comfortable. Break often for water.

::025:: Too funny, if only because it's true, about the crawling to the beach bit.

I have recently returned from a motorcycle trip to France. it was in the mid 30s deg celcius all week. However we spent two days at Verdun and the temperature was 116f/46 deg celcius! It was like riding in a fan oven. My bike tour to Sw USA in 2011 was a touch hotter though at 118f/48 celcius in the Mojave desert and Death valley, i think the HD Electraglide was ready to pack in.

I don't think Northern New Mexico had a Summer.
I was hot a few times but it is starting to feel like early fall lately in the AM.
Nice riding weather other than the afternoon showers, but that's how NM weather is suppose to be normally.
We have been blessed in the west this year.

Will be 97F with a heat index (feels like) 107 today.

Alas, I sissied out and drove the cage.

Admittedly, I do that often in July and August as I get older. Refuse to possibly injure my passion of riding.

In Texas we brag we can ride 365. We CAN, I won't argue. But sometimes I don't.
Fortunately, if I am jones-ing for a jaunt, sunrise rides and sunset riding is more than tolerable.

I'm right there with you Snake! When all I had was the bike, I rode. Now that I have a truck as well, I'm less likely to ride in the summer months in Phoenix.
