It can be too hot to go for a ride like today or is it me getting old? Answers on a post card to the old rocker Souf London chapter!

My house is well insulated so it also keeps the heat out. Have a couple of large fans if needed. I dont think it is very hot here yet and promised to be 24C.Next week i will be on my way around the Med and i bet its hot down around Italy. Rome and Naples are on the itinerary

It's a subjective thing I guess.

I take the insulation lining out of my jacket in this weather, and open the zip vents on the front, usually dont bother wearing anything underneath - the jacket that is !!

Still gets pretty hot, but not so that I cant bear it.

i've been out riding today..t-shirt and shorts on keeping cool

..but i have got a box sidecar on so little chance of falling off!

Re: Some days........

If you get hot when out on a ride, just ride faster !

Re: Some days........

I knew there had to be a reason for riding an outfit

Re: Some days........

Just come back from an evening ride on the H2.

Lovely and cool, stopped off at a bike meet I spotted along the way - very sociable bunch, there was even a bloke I used to work with there and a decent assortment of bikes.

Best part of 50 miles.

Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd.

Shakespeare knew all about this 400yrs ago. In my world the best riding day is dull, cool (not cold) and dry. I see no fun in bikes in heat or wet.

Maybe that why I never get out on them!

So global warming has been around for at least 400 years Simon !

History, Geology and Archeology show it's been around for millenia. Rather longer than oily two-strokes and steam engines anyway.
