We're too lazy to get up at four in the morning and throw down a quick
muni ride, and it's way too hot in the afternoon.

How hot is too hot?

It is good that you still ride even when it is hot. Trials compliments
MUni very well. I live in Israel and it is dam hot here in the summer.
Today we started riding in the hills at 5:30 this morning. By 7 I was
really sloppy falling on stupid little [censored] because it was just so hot.
It has been 102F or 38C here for the past week. Two days ago at night
we rode trials by this outside shopping mall. After two hours of riding
we sat down on the steps and had some beers. My friend Nimrod wrang out
his shirt and was able to fill a 330ml beer bottle with the sweat he
collected!

I only wish we had southern California weather here in Huntsville,
Alabama! Try mid 90's F with a heat index well over 100 degF (i.e.
very, very high humidity!). As a California boy myself I don't think
I'll ever get used to the humidity here in the Deep South. No fun.
Yet, for some reason I'm still going out for epic muni rides in the
13-19 mile range on fairly technical, rocky, rooty single track. But
these rides would leave me almost on the point of heat exhaustion.
Yeah and UPDing on stupid things just because your so baked and legs
just get all weak! I just carry a hydration pack filled with ice, but
even so that lasts only for so long... I've built a pretty cool trials
type course in my yard and am just doing some shorter muni rides at
night. I'm just going to wait till fall to any real long muni around
here...

Thought this 'thread title'
(http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34101) sounded
familiar.

It's too hot when you have to spend more time cooling down than riding.

It's too hot when you have to cut your ride short because you'll
overheat and end up in trouble if you try to finish it.

Nice guys! My backs healing and doing pretty good. Was on a uni for the
first time yesterday for the parade here at NAUCC and it felt great to
finally be on a uni again. Also played some disc golf for the first
time since my accident and that also felt great! Can't wait to ride
with you guys again....hopefully within the next couple of weeks!

Great shots - that's going huge John! Hot weather can make a ride really
really hard. We've been lucky up here lately. Sunday's ride temp in
Santa Cruz was so perfect. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 91 when we hit
the trails at 5:30...we'll see.

Jamey, that is great to hear you're riding a little and shooting the
discs! Congratulations and heal fast (but don't overdo it too much!)

Jamey, glad to hear you're healing. Don't get too into disc golf now, it
seems to have been tempting many-a-rider in California as of late.

Too hot eh? Yeah, it's been pretty rough here up in SF, too. We had a
high of 72 today, and tomorrow's is a deadly 74. The windchill only
makes it worse. Sometimes it's even so bad that the fog clears and you
get a glimpse of the sun. On those days I just have to stop whatever
hard work I had planned and take off my jacket.

John, at least it's not humid. I spent 8 years in Atlanta, Ga, and that
kind of heat puts Cali heat to shame. Philadelphia is no picnic either,
but it's damn nice once the sun goes down.

High temperature is okay, it's the high humidity that kills you. You
ride, you sweat, water is humid already, your sweat doesn't evaporate,
you stay hot, you suffer, you can't think, you fall down, meh...

The temperature is around 32 degrees celcius here, but the humidity
usually stays at around 80%. Which is just terrible. So, I try to limit
myself to freestyle and flatland, jumping gets your head spinning way
too soon. Still, even then I have to take breaks all the time and I end
up with clothes sucked in sweat. It also blows for stand-up wwing,
because your legs can't grip the saddle properly, and you keep
slipping.

Oh well, another one and a half months...

And that's a problem? DG is a great passtime when your not riding.
I've got several friends who don't ride uni but play disc. Gives me
something to do with them.

I think I'm going there (venice mountain) today to try some different
lines, and get video of me doing the same drop as in John's pic above!
