For me.. over 90 is getting uncomfortable... 100+ I'm done... Most riding spots here are 100+ now, one or two at higher elevations maybe still under 90.. but they are long drives for me...

Yea Id say 90+ is not all to fun but I guess Im lucky enough that we can hit up the wooded trails and keep out of the sun in most cases.

The first time I went riding to Cal City with RickkyBobby from the Org, he had a puncture / I had a repair kit, rest of group carried on except one guy who would guide us to catch up the rest (the plan), we followed this guy on a KTM EXC450 with a GPS, who was completely ****** lost, we dropped down a dried up waterfall (No going back) and spent 4 hrs in a river canyon, no shade (unless you crawled under a rock), 100+ and sun bouncing off canyon walls, no wind, every mile or so we were lugging our bikes over big river rocks / boulders... sunburnt to ****, he ran out of gas, we were all fit to drop when we got out of there.. I was the only one with a camelbak but it didn't last long between us.. absolutely brutal at the time but funny now..

if you're riding dunes with zero shade i can understand how anything over 90 would be a mess. In the woods it can be 90 but you're shaded so it's not too bad.

Geez stew that sounds like a horrible day!

While were on that topic (whoa thread drift lol) my worst was it was about 60F outside and I was riding along this half bowl we have at my spot. Its bordered on the other side by a very large lake the place dredged out like 30 years ago. The lake literally has 10ft of shore thats it. I went back and forth about 20x riding the side of the bowl and finally lost control and went tumbling into the lake quad and all. Do you know how much fun it is to swim 20ft back to shore dragging your quad with you? Then I had to be towed back 5 miles to the truck and thank *** my buddy brought a change of clothes otherwise Id have froze.

That even looks like its hot, Stew! :crazy:

I'd be near the pool in that weather lol

 

[CJM]

Yea it was a fun dip in the water since its cold outside lol.

When its really hot in the summer we go swimming in it, *** only knows wtf is in there but its a manmade make and the water is actually pretty clear-probably cleaner than some natural made lakes lol. Water has a greenish tint to it too b/c of a certain mineral they were mining there for years for paint. The gliddens paint company used to own the whole thing.

After working all day yesterday I took the time and washed my R. Here is a couple pics I snagged last night right at dark. And a picture of my dust collectors that I ride once a year or so.
