Hot Weather Riding 90?+

[Guest]

Was out on the GS (a few days ago). During the day it has been hotter than usual (95+).
I wear an armored mesh jacket and was pretty sweaty after a half an hour!
I've always enjoyed riding at night, but there are so many deer around here, I almost hit one the other day....

I definitely am glad I live in an area, these days, that at least doesn't stay above 100+ for long periods of time!!

Morning rides are definitely preferred, but anytime I get a chance to ride I'll take it. I wear the same jacket as the cold months just without the warm layer, also the rest of the gear is a must too. The vents in the jacket and helmet help when I'm moving but I try to avoid the heavy traffic slow and go spots. Fortunately Albuquerque traffic isn't as bad as say LA or Denver.

My wife and I are on vacation right now on my bmw.... today we hit a high of 38.5 Celsius or about 101 degrees... 7 hours of riding in that was tiring.

Riding at night, I don't do for the same reason, deer.
I was commuting to work on a bike. As darkness came earlier in the fall I was riding home in the dark. Got to not like it, too weird. Just my head in a helmet, sitting on the bike in black ink, could not see any landscape, just headlights projecting my own weird shadow on the pavement.
