not hot if you go out early. I was out at 7am and was a bit chilling first thing. Warm after lunch but would rather have it warm and dry

Like cold weather riding it's more about having the right gear than anything

Great weather for it on the south coast right now. Unfortunately, the roads are all too busy with caravans and holiday makers to enjoy rolleyesrolleyes

Had a 30 minutes blast today. Wasn’t really bothered by the heat at all as long as speed and airflow were decent.

The weather this year has been st. How anyone can complain now that we get a few days of decent weather is crazy. I’ve managed my 3rd ride of the year on a road bike today, the last one was a ride to and from a roadbike trackday, the one before that sometime in May I think. This year has been a washout, so I’m voting that this is perfect biking weather.

Too hot for leathers. Riding to Harewood hill climb tomorrow. Be wearing Levis' jeans and jacket. Hope I don't high-side/low-side on route.

Be there or, be misshapen. wavey

I normally always wear my leathers with merino wool base layer. I went out yesterday without the base layer and christ it was st.. never again! It still fks my head up that adding an extra layer under leather trousers actually keeps you cooler..or warmer in the cold. Its bloody witchcraft.

This.

You will never ever see me complain about it being too hot or sunny. I’m from the north west and I can tell you that I am fking sick of rain. I hate it.

This year has been awful - all that seems to be changing climate wise for us is that it’s getting wetter. Much, much wetter.

Currently on holiday in the Ardennes mountain biking. It’s bd mental hot. You won’t see me complaining. I know that I’m going to have to go home to floods.
