One of the worst things about the cen-cal area for riding is the hellishly hot summers. Today we're at 104 degrees. I rode for about an hour and a half and I was completely spent. It is definitely the season for night riding or taking a vacation somewhere cool. If you ride during the day in this heat, make sure you drink lots of water and take breaks in the shade - heat stroke is a common thing these days and if your not careful you could take yourself out for good. Any stories of heat sickness?
I've been fortunate so far....

I rode for ten minutes the other day and I was soaked through my underwear. Gotta find an indoor spot, ya know. And for once im wearing shorts! :shock: I never do that! Always wear a hat when I ride, shorts everything. Could empty a liter of water every 1 5minutes or so. Freaking hot


What makes you gay is fucking butts, and i don't really care if you fuck butts, but that is a definite sign that your gay!

Be thankfull there's low humidity. It really kills you at night, when it's still hotter than nuts.

Your the guy who did that vid at hollywood jam 5, right?
Where are you from Jason?
The heat definitely sucks - the spot I rode at today has this covered area and a couple of cops rolled out and parked there with their A/C on, just watching me practice. They probably were thinking they had it pretty good but they weren't the only ones getting paid in a parking lot. So was I. Except for the fact that I was pushing the limits on my bike, spinning, coasting and creating a stir all while they sat on their asses getting fatter. Needless to say I was stoked to be riding, even if it is in the heat, ya know?
