I hate the heat, especially sitting around the house sweating or trying to sleep when it's hot. Then there's the whole dehydration thing when doing longer rides and then trying to rehydrate the next day. I sweat so much climbing I have to force water and if there's no place to refill it's a problem.

Now that I'm retired I should move someplace cooler. I really don't mind riding in cold weather as long as it isn't raining. When I lived in the mountains I used to mtb in the snow and it was a blast.

Wait until it's snowing again and tell me that.

big john- I don't mind the rain, too much, but I just can't stand to let my bicycles get wet! You should see me crawl when I get caught out!

Especially after you clean your bike.
