Here in the Hill Country in Texas we get those magical cool spots in the valleys while riding. At about dusk on a hot day you'll ride into a valley and the temp will all of a sudden be 20' cooler.
Love it.

In a manner of speaking - I was. My bike gives me a "magic carpet ride"! I often play that particular song while riding...

Besides the magical cool patches I enjoy the fresh cut hay fields, orchards in bloom, even passing a logging truck and smelling the fresh cut timber.
Cattle haulers, feed lots and the dead carcasses not so much

Enjoy your summer Clack!

+1 with Old Mike, 10*F. snow blowing this a.m. here on the west side of MI. It already warmed up from the low of 3*F. For our Aussie friends that's a tick above 0*C.

Zero degrees C = 32 degrees F.

Three degrees F is more like -16 degrees C.

Sorry Dynamick I tried metric a long time ago didn't work then either. Thanks for the correction, it was still cold. You are absolutely right. My last trip thru Ontario I had a conversion chart (mph-kph) for speed taped to the windshield of the bike.
