We can get terrible heat indexes in MN with high humidity. As Gordy noted, acclimatization is the key, and riding every day (or as much as possible) helps do this gradually. My morning commutes are usually in the mid 60s, which is perfect riding weather for me, and i suffer through whatever it does in the afternoon. I do more night rides in the summer, which can be lovely and cool and quiet after a hot day. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
