riding in a CC summer

[emptysea]

Every summer of our lives has been a "Climate Change Summer" -- if the climate is changing (and I think it is), it has been doing so since at least 1960. J3gq's map and comments are about weather, not climate. We've had hot, wet, cold, dry summers forever. Some with volatile storms, some without. The CC folks seem to point to weather when the weather forecasts support their hypothesis and tell us that we can't look at the a single year's weather when that data doesn't support their hypothesis. So to J3gq's question: CC does not have any affect on my riding - zero. Weather does. I wear rain gear when it rains, I wear mesh gear when it's hot, and I wear electrics when it's cold. I wear sunglasses when it's sunny and don't when it's not.
