Its getting hot!

JThompson · 05-16-2007, 03:57 AM

You know its HOT when temperatures are breaking records in your area. I am not much of a heat lover hence my northwest location. How many others are having hot weather too?

tigmaster · 05-16-2007, 05:14 AM

ya its been in the high 80's here with humidity in the high 100's lol. i want to ride so bad but am waiting on parts and machine work still

JThompson · 05-16-2007, 05:43 AM

Yeah got to get out there early early am and browse mototips all afternoon

Wopstar · 05-16-2007, 02:16 PM

It has been over 100 everyday for almost 2 weeks here in Havasu. If you go high enough into the hills it cools down a little but still hot. I have rode in 100+ down to 35 degree weather so far this year.

JThompson · 05-17-2007, 02:37 AM

100+ is just to much for me. We used to ride in weather like that down in Livermore. I know it is hotter in Arizona. Then again I guess you all get used to it and hit the trails early. Hitting tracks first thing in the morning right after they are preped and nice and fresh is the best time anyways. No need to stick around for the heat

We try to hit the trail early but it's still hot. Oh well like you said you get used to it. My buddy is coming out from california on memorial day so we"ll see how well he handles the riding temp?

JThompson · 05-17-2007, 09:55 AM

All the riding i did in the livermore, CA area it gets to be 105+ there all the time. So your buddy should not have to much trouble. Where abouts in California is your friend from?

Wopstar · 05-17-2007, 10:47 AM

He is actually from Florida originally so he may have a hard time with how dry it is out here. He lives in San Diego at Camp Pendelton now (He is in the Marines).

ya, out there in arizona your lucky that u dont have to worry about humidity. here in st. louis humidity is so bad. some days it feels like 110 and its only 85. but still 100+ out there where your at is pretty insane

Wopstar · 05-17-2007, 11:06 AM

I have felt both and I will take 110 with 0 humidity over 80 and 80% humidity any day but the 120+ days can get to you. You We do still get humidity during monsoon season.
