    What is the hootest temperature you have ridden in.

    Without trying to hijack Catmans post(which I have found really interesting) was wondering what are some of the hottest temperatures you have ridden in.

    Today it was 42degC or about 107degF in my hometown.

    Cheers Brenno

      Hootest? Is that something like the most Hooters bars you have stopped at on a single ride? -jk

          We can call it the "Hotters 125" run.

          I remember one July morning it was 79F at 4:30 AM !!!!! For the first time ever I rode to work in a Tee shirt. The ride home at 3:30 PM was like a hot hair dryer blowing in my body and face. It was 97F on the way home.

            Not sure. It was somewhere north of 100 this year during a 4.5 hour ride up to Wellesley Island.

              Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                118F or so...

                I used to wear a Levi Jacket and soak it with with water every half hour or so, jeans too. Turn myself into a human swamp cooler. It's really not that uncomfortable until you come to a stop. You have to be careful going cross country, if you run out of drinking water you will die.

                        Riding home from the "1ST Annual" Western States GSR Rally in July. It was 105 F after I came over the Sierra's. Felt like I was riding through a blast furnace. 150 miles of hell. I stopped in Tracy. Found a shady spot behind a shell station to rest (me and the bike). I kept thinking, "it will be better over the next hill,...the next hill,...the next...

                        That was the first day of a 12 day heat wave. My 1100 made it through like a champ. Thank goodness for oil coolers! I was soaked with sweat, and lost 6 pounds over that weekend.

                          I think it snuck up on 100 here a few times this past summer. Gets hot in all that gear. I miss sweating my ass off on the bike. I'm freezing right now and the bike is still apart.
                          I think I'll go work on it.

                              115 degrees F last summer. I want to take a ride out to Death Valley next year. It's about a six hour drive.
