Only 1/2 an hour from the mountains here in CO, so ride regardless and just head for higher alt's where it's always cooler. And do all I can to avoid the I-25 parking lot running through Denver.
I live in west Texas so its always 100+ in the summer. Its not fun but I think its better than freezing my a$$ off in the winter. Either way its my only transportation so I have to ride.
I ride when I can. It's not always comfortable or pleasant, but it's nice to do more than commute. I work rotating shifts, and I recently got married. When I work nights, I can't ride. When I have the weekend off (with my wife), it's hard to get away, so if it's 100+ out, and I'm home alone, I'll be riding. I rode almost 400 miles yesterday, and it was HOT!
it's always hot in Elk Grove, I remember being there in March for a basketball game (1975) being from San Francisco -- it seemed like it was 200 degrees there -- our team lost -- the other team had some skinny tall dude by name of Bill Cartright

Do you guys ride when it's 100+ degrees out? I have in the past but it's not the most enjoyable thing to do.
