i commute to work(most days mass transit, however some i ride all the way in) and last wednesday my intake temp told me it was 101 when i was downtown. once i got on the highway to leave i figured it would cool down with the breeze, i was wrong. the highway has freshly laid asphalt, which is a deep black and hot as hell. i was going 80mph and i was still roasting.
some days, really deep inside, i want to ride with shorts, tshirt and a non-DOT approved skull cap, just to feel the wind rush up my shorts. but then i think of my skin, and realize that i want to keep it.
