100+ degree riding

OK. I am up for it. Perry anyone? I will be out there in the AM to crash over downed trees and sweep spider webs, just in case you are arachnid phobic (they taste acidic and unripe, in case you gourmets out there have questions about that). Anyone up for it? If not, would some other day work for you?

Man, your a rock Stu. We are bail'n hay right now and even the guys with AC in the cab are call'n it quits by noon. Its just rough when it hits 105-8 during the day. I for some reason have to be very careful. I can get sick real quick in this heat. No matter how much water or Gatorade I drink. I have actually been loading hay at midnight this week instead of during the day. For some reason i just cant take the heat like i used too.

HAYDEN.

Dan and I was at Perry from 7am and left about 10ish. If you made it out, it must have been after 10AM. As long as you could keep a good flow going it was not too bad but still not my idea of fun. Be very careful about riding dirt bikes in weather like this, It's hard on bike and rider. I hope it cools down significantly by Aug 7th.

I made it out after 10. In the afternoon, as a matter of fact. W. Lawrence bank temp said 106. So off I went. Rode for about an hour. There were only 4 other guys there. I cleared a LOT of spiderwebs out of the trails and thought that no one made it out. Sorry I didn't make it by AM but I had some business stuff come up that needed attention.

What about trying again this Sunday (7/24)? 30% chance of rain. Apparently pop-up t-storms are going to be in the area. And, in keeping with the title of the topic it will still be around 100 degrees.

Made it out to ride yesterday (8/10) in a balmy, pleasant 94 degrees. Hope to hit it again Sunday. Anyone else?

Stu, depending on how much work I get done today and tomorrow I may be able to make it. What time are you going to be there?

I need to check the forum more often.... Harv, I was there for a while. Not many people were. Rode my street legal 525 out there and rode some. It is a bit violent for those trails, though, especially after I got done with it. I will not be able to get out this weekend (8/20-21).
