Gentlemen,
Here in Scottsdale, AZ this weekends weather was predicted to be hot so I skipped riding and took my boat to the lake. That turned out to be a mistake as it was 118 degrees in the shade and well over 120 in the sunlight. There was no cool evaporation coming off the water and it felt like a blowtorch hitting you in the face at 40 mph. On the bike at 70 mph would be unbearable. I thought it would cool off during the night enough to ride but at 11pm last night it was still 104 degrees. There can't be too much of a difference between here and hell right now. I've lived here for 57 years and have never gotten use to AZ's summer heat.
