I love weather in the 70's ... perfect for biking,

you don't get too hot, you can cool down on a ride

and warm up when you stop in the sun

that's why i can't wait for winter, dry most days, usually in the 60-70 range.... i can put the mesh in the closet and pull the leathers out. i don't show up everywhere looking like i just took a shower while smelling like i haven't taken one in a week.

I hate being too hot, stepping out the shower into clean clothes only to feel all clammy and hot again ... I much prefer to feel cool and fresh in my clothes, I know some like the very high temperatures but I just don't "get it" ... why would you want to feel lethargic all the time, hot, unable to do anything but sit and sweat or even sleep at night and your clothes all sweaty ... no, give me warm, dry and sunny everytime

I don't even mind the cold, I accept I don't ride in winter here and I love the snow, photo opportunities galore and I love getting cosy in my wee cottage when it's freezing out

I don't like the heat, but I am used to it. I used to live in the mountains in Califorina and the weather there was perfect. When we moved back to Texas I thought I was going to die, but I didn't, I just got used to the heat. It doesn't slow me down or stop me from doing anything. Although I do worship the air conditioner when I can

I get all sweaty and dirty at work so I don't bother taking a change of clothes. I don't get too hot when riding unless I get stuck in traffic and have to stop, so I just stay out of the city when possible.

Thats how I feel about FL - HOT. Nice thing is that its starting to get a little cooler now..and will be gorgeous soon. HATE snow. Lived in PA and snow sucks. I'll deal with a hot *** summer because most of the other times its great out. I work outside too - so I'm used to have change of shirts at least all the time.
