    Look into Angelo's Burgers on PCH. They have an awesome breakfast burrito. And they have beer on tap IIRC.

    Anyone who's worked in the desert heat knows how to deal with it. I worked construction in Phoenix for a few years. A news crew showed up on our site one really hot day, doing a bit about surviving the heat – just in time to catch me sticking my head in the water barrel.

    Riding a bike at the time and place of my choosing in the heat isn't so bad. Plus, better judgement tells me to go for it because I could be dead next month. :cool:

    I ride in 100 degree Temps all the time. It aint no big deal really. If you are not used to it then you just got to "get" used to it.
    You pace yourself more, drink more fluids. Try to find ride areas that have more of a breeze. It's the dead airspace rides that kill me.
    I wear the UV Arm thingy's that turn my sweat into evaporative cooling.

    Like @mike...
    I would rather ride, not knowing what next week brings. Lately I've been more concerned with my crazy commute on the 138 now that there is more Solar Farm Growth activity out that way.
    Absolute idiots during both directions of my daily commute turning it into high speed video game of chance. My goal is to avoid and survive. I'm actually contacting the CHP office to discuss.
    If I meet a highway death, you heard it here first, here at imtbtrails...:unsure:

    "Used to it." That's the key.

    During the hot months, we used to see new guys come on the job who had been off work awhile. You could just watch the progress...slowing down, taking lots of water breaks, even more water breaks, eventually turning pale and sitting under the scaffolding hoping for relief that never came. Once they hurled water, they were done. Try again tomorrow.

    8 mile lunch ride to Sugarloaf Mountain, Riverside with Doug the Planner!700' elevation felt like 7,000'
    Doug went OTB and then to urgent care. My boss is irritated with me for being a "bad influence." "No more rides during work!" She says.

    Thumb for scale...

    8 staples. Doug qualifies for the 100 degree club in my book...

    Too close to that reprehensible ocean! Come over to the Inpand Empire for some ridiculous atmosphere!

    He doesn't have to go that far! I can get him a solid 100-110 in parts of Caspers. I'll even throw in a climb with 30% grades for a little extra special suffering.

    And even worse? He'll be able to see the ocean! :sneaky:

    I dunno, last weekend we were close enough to the ocean to throw rocks, and it creeped over 100*.

    I'm with you on that! The Garmin hit 103 last week on the upper holy jim downhill, normally I don't trust the Garmin temp reading but it felt every bit that. If I was pedaling up when it got that hot I would have turned around long before o_O

    When it gets over 100 degrees, I don the kit and ride the road bike, plus chase pokemon. The road is boring without some distraction.

    IMG_3291.PNG First MTB ride in a month, but the commuter rides to Target and Stater Bros help with the baseline. IMG_3292.JPGMarshall Canyon is loooooose!

    This doesn't compare to the Space Mountain to Sycamore Canyon ride above (unless I were to turn around and ride my ride a second time :confused:) but still I had a blast!

    I got to spend some time by myself (since few want to join this club) to recollect on all the bullets I have dodged in my life. All the best to youz.

    Not me personally, but a friend rode in Oakridge at 100 degrees. The same ride I did two weeks ago when it was 34 and the top of the mountain was snowed in. o_O

    Having done it, I do not recommend climbing Coal Canyon when it's 102 degrees. :whistling:
