Riding in cooler weather
The other day I jumped on my bike and took off for a ride. After a couple of miles my lungs felt like there were on fire. Now, the temperature was sitting around 70 F, which is highly unusual for this time of year in Oklahoma. Could this drop in temperature be the cause of this burn? Other than some mild discomfort it really didn't affect my ride too much. Is there something that can be done to ride in cooling weather? (prepping for winter rides).

Re: Riding in cooler weather
I dont have an answer just a comment really. Isnt the weather in Oklahoma great?
 We have the most bizarre, frequently changing weather ever. This year especially has been weird. Oh well, I still love OK. |

Re: Riding in cooler weather
It's been unusually cool in Austin as well lately, I love it.
But back to your question . . . 70F is not sufficiently cold to give your lungs that feeling IMO. I am not a doctor by any means, but I grew up in a very hot place and it still takes sub 50F temps to make my lungs even begin to get upset. It could've been any number of things, but as long as it goes away then no biggie. |

Maybe it's just what you're used to. I don't get that lung burn until the temp drops down below 45 degrees. But then, I'm from New England. That said, I just wanted to say hello. I bicycled Route 66 several years ago and had a great time in Oklahoma. The people were friendly and the historical sites along the way were well worth the time. I would highly recommend riding in OK. |
