Riding Conditions

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

What is your favorite weather to ride in? I personally like to ride in low to mid 90's, with the humidity 40 - 50%, and no wind. I hate catching a head wind, especially near the end of a long ride.

Most of my usual riding partners call me a masochist for riding in these conditions, but it just feels good to me. I also like the fact that most drivers have their windows rolled up so they won't lose their AC, so I don't recieve as much verbal abuse as I normally would otherwise.

I noticed a major drop in shouting, etc once the temps hit 90+. People stare a lot more in that kind of heat tho. Their faces saying, "Oh my Gawd !! He's riding a bike in this f-ing heat ??!!" :)

I have to ride every day no matter what the conditions are and I prefer high 70's to low 80's with some windage. Don't have to deal with the sweating once I arrive at my destination.
