What are guys doing to stay cool ? I'm going to Glen Helen for a 2 day race in triple digit temps. Oh joy ! Laughing We figured it'd be hot since it's September but wasn't planning on 114 degrees Blink Monday will hopefully be going to the beach to cool down. Cool What's your holiday plans ?

Dude. Be super careful riding in that kind of heat + pollution. Not only is heat stroke a high possibility, but with your heart rate being in the 180's for intense motos, your lungs and blood are not going to be stoked. Those carcinogen-rich particulates entering your blood get deposited to vital organs. Stay safe and bring a fuck ton of ice and some clean garbage cans and cool your body down after a moto. I've had heat stroke twice and it royally jacked my body up for 2 weeks. Good luck!

That’s exactly why I wait until October to head down and go riding in So Cal. I did a poker run about 55 miles long in Nachese Washington a few years ago. 106* and four hours of riding. Water was hot as tea, ran out of water just past the halfway point. Screw that. 114* .

I'm with Ian and Chance above.......when it comes to those temps , screw that I'm at the river or the coast. It starts getting close to 100 degree's , count me out of moto. When I was younger....hell yeah. Now days......hell no! I'm old enough now to realize I'm not training for nationals , and besides that.....fishing and swimming is way better haha.

I'm driving back home from Idaho tomorrow/today. Breaking up the drive to avoid the heat. It's a fucking mess in the southwest the next couple days.

I'm the opposite of you, but I've only lived in So Cal and AZ so my blood is thin.

When it's 50 I'm freezing I could never imagine shoveling snow in the driveway and dealing with the car to make sure it runs to go to work every day. I've heard in some states you have to plug in some type of heater To make sure your engine block is not frozen. Sounds like crazy stuff to me!!

But then I'm sure dealing with 115゚ heat sounds just as crazy to you and I have to admit this 2020 summer was the worst ever in Arizona in my 33 years here.
We had record temps and had over 50 days where it was at least 111 or HIGHER! Evil

Previous record was 20!!!

Can't wait for it to cool down just got in a little while ago from some extensive yard work and just about died!
I'm getting too old for this shit! haha

Survived day one. I hydrated all week and drank more water today than any day ever before in my life. I felt good in the races but hot after. Pretty sure the next race we (So Cal otmx) have scheduled in triple digit heat I’m going to the beach. I love moto but fuck 115°.... 1 more day, 2 more motos then cowabunga surfs up. Fuck this, it’s too hot Laughing

105 today for jujitsu garage practice. I really felt that.
109 tomorrow and Monday, I'll be at the track at 8:00, done by 1:00. It'll still suck, definitely looking forward to October.

It's interesting how the body adapts to its surroundings , i would still be in shorts and a t shirt at 50 degrees and probably would refuse to leave the house if it was 115.

In 08, I went from Portland Oregon to Mt Rainier in Washington. It was February. Mid forties in Portland. -5 to -15 on Rainier.
After working on the mountain for ten months, the heat bothered me during the summer. Grew up in So Cal, lived in Portland for ten years, froze my ass off for several months on Rainier and now have lived in the Seattle area 12 years.
It used to be the hotter the better. Now, I’ll take 70* over anything. On a side note, after all these years, I still hate the rain in the PNW.

You get in you air conditioned car and you go to your air conditioned workplace, the worst part of the day is walking out to the car after work. If you survive those 5 minutes you're golden! Cheerful

I honestly do not know how people lived in Arizona before air conditioning.

That and the guy who came up with the idea of creating a dam on the Salt River now Roosevelt Lake and a chain of lakes, Apache, Canyon and Saquaro Lakes.

It was called the Salt River project which is our electric company SRP the dam was named after president Roosevelt as he went up there on the treacherous Apache Trail and christened it.

Without those four Lake river reservoirs the many sprawling cities of Arizona would never have been created.

The History section of this is cool.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_River_Project



Saquaro Lake is 15 minutes from the casa and Canyon is about 40 minutes.





But keep it on the downlow, Arizona is just a dry dusty town with tumbleweeds and Rattlers....Cheerful

The Californians are moving out here in droves and fuckin it up!

Hope you survived Day 2 sumdood, racing in that heat for old guys is no joke!

This is from the parking lot a few weeks ago.
Probably hotter today!

I love the heat. I spend so much time in my garage I will often look over at a friend and they will be soaked with sweat just running off their face and look like they are having a heat stroke. I am so used to it but forget others maybe not so much. On the other hand I can't even function in mildly cold weather. My toes go numb and I look like a first timer if surfing in the cold. My blood is so thin.

Got through day two with no one having any heat related issues 👍. The club combined some classes and got the whole schedule done in 3 races so we got done before the hottest part of the day, it was 117 when I was pulling out, no idea how hot it got later 🥵

Hey sumdood are you planning on being at Glen Helen for the next round on the 26th?

I’m planning on making a trip out there and that weekend seems to be the one that is going to work.

100 degrees in Portland feels like 110+ over here in Eastern Washington. We have almost no humidity compared to you guys, but really anything over 95 or so makes it miserable to spend a lot of the day outside.

Visited my daughters down there last summer during a heat wave and the humidity just felt oppressive.

Have too many pre-cancers scraped off my bald dome every year to bake in the sun any longer.

Hell, I don't even go in our pool if it's over 95 until the sun moves enough to create a decent shadow over it!

I've got a vacation place in Palm Desert. We don't even think about going to it during the warmer months. At least you can dress for the cold.

I guess the one nice thing about living in places where the weather is shit for 6 months of the year. Is that you can buy cheap enough to afford another place just like it.

This winter is going to suck without spending time there. But all y'alls is a bunch of plague rats right now so I'll begrudgingly find a way to enjoy the winter here in Canada for a change.
