How hot is too hot to ride?

[six2go]

I find that as I age I tolerate the heat a lot less than when I was young(er). I don't like riding in temps much above 80*. My ideal temp range for riding is 55* - 75*. Consequently my annual mileage is much lower these days. My bike goes into storage twice a year, once for the Winter months of Dec.- March, and the second time during the "Dog Days" of Summer which came earlier this year. Gonna have heat index of 105 - 110 for the upcoming weekend.

I am with you my friend...At 78 my age is starting to change a lot of things in my life including riding on days over 80 degrees...Just gets to hot in traffic for me. When I ride I want to enjoy the experience and not get hot, uncomfortable and be miserable!!!!....Regards and ride safe
