Rode in to the office today.
At about 8:15, on the 91, it was 86 deg according to the bike thermometer. Few minutes later, at the top of the 241 toll road, it was 90.
Typically transition over from the 91 down into Irvine, the temperature does not go up.
Head home, it was 101 in Newport Beach. By the time I got back to the 91, and this was about 2:30, it was 106.
108 through Corona, back down to 106 and 104 when I finally hit home.
Just plain hot.
"Hey, it's a dry heat!"
Yet, is surely was.
This is probably the warmest I've ridden in. I don't think it was this hot crossing to Las Vegas in July, years ago. It was just over an hour overall, the gear worked, the vents worked. Felt fine.
But it's been a Hotober so far this year.
