ditto here. 91 when I went out this morning just before 6am. Only about 105 when I got back from a shortened ride of 41 miles. We normally do 55 or so on Saturday’s. High today has been 118 last I checked. It’s like riding in a blast furnace lol. In summer most of my rides are between 25-55 miles so we can be done relatively quickly. When it gets too onerous we’ll drive up into local hills and ride early there.
winter when I was in VA I would regularly ride at temps of around 25-28 F. The nice thing was that you could choose your layers and just stay in them the entire ride so it was really pretty nice when riding in the cold but still sunny. Here in PD we will get into mid 30’s sometimes but it warms up so quickly that it sucks with how many layers you need to put on and peel off
