Just got back from a 17mile mtb ride. The speedo read 105* by the end (started at 99).

NYC is like one big parking lot as the sun heats things up. I used to do rides like this in full winter gear to prepare for full leathers racing but have switched to lighter gear.

Still think its the best training to ride a motorcycle as you train your balance and riding muscles too.

You just gotta stay hydrated.

 

You're not right in the head... At that temp I'm camping out in the fridge...

 

Man that speedo reading 105... I hope you were wearing eye protection!

Hotter where you are than in Phoenix today... although we have you beat for humidity

 

Did you mead we (east) have you beat for humidity? I always hear Az is a dry heat. Right now (5:30 pm) the heat index is 97 and its 46% humidity. My pool water is 90!!!


And smokinjoe, you must be totally soaked in about 1 minute!!

 

In Ontario Canada its 90`F right now, with the humidex its nearly 106`F... Working outside in this all day is brutal.

I'd rather have this than cold...

 

Nah I just looked up NYC when I said that- they're at 24%, we're at 30% right now- but current thunderstorms are bringing in the lower temps (98*) but jack our humidity up. I'll take our standard 110* and 9% humidity over this anyday! Can't cool off even at speed on the 'Hawk!

 

Oh, yeah, my bicycle speedo has a thermometer. NYC readings you see are kinda fake cuz they are usually central park, which has tons of shrubberies to cool it down.

I then rode the hawk from Queens through Brooklyn into Manhattan. I soaked my under armor shirt with water before I left and it was dry by the time I got there wearing a mesh jacket.

The air in the midtown tunnel was 111*F. That was the worst part. I turned the hawk off and coasted for the first downhill half of the tunnel (to not overheat)
