Default Damn it is HOT!

Forcast today 108, we have had several days in a row of 104+ heat. Kinda hard on an old fat guy. Came home from watering hole last night at 11pm it was still about 95 out.

Time to head out to Colorado...

Stay cool

103 here today - I'll probably head up to the Enchanted Circle for some relief (forecast is 83F and clear today) - but it IS a dry heat

What part of N TX do you hail from? I'm about as NW as you can get; between Texline, TX and Sedan, NM...

For the summer, our Florida coastal temps aren't that bad, not like you get out West. But we have that good ole' monkey swamp butt hot with all the humidity. Florida's good to ride anytime.

Come to New Jersey. Been getting some great weather since the RAIN stopped (whole month of June) but now we're getting beautifull almost Fall like days with temps daytime around 80 and cool almost crisp evenings. Been raining so much last month that it's like a new lease on life lately.

For mid-July, that sounds like just right Rodeo. NJ is in my sights for planning an East Coastal ride which I'm planning for early September. I'm finally getting my head into a four corner's ride. Hope I'll be able to do this leg without something coming up to mess it up.

Ride safe,
