Too hot to MUni

To hot = 90+ deg. with 70+ % humidity or 85+ deg with 80+ % humidity.🙁
It's a double sliding scale.

well, it got to about 105 a few days ago... I wasn't MUniing, but I was
street riding. It never gets too hot, as long as you can ride your uni
into a creek.

Yes, yes I am 😉
Seriously, I haven't reached my limit yet... the closest I have to it is
when the sweat starts dribbling onto my glasses... that annoys me... It
helps that I wear a camelback, but it's too small... I've gone through
it 3 times in an hour, and that's a lot of water!
The downside is an hour after I stop riding, at which point I have to
visit the bathroom every 20 minutes...

We put in a 4 hour Muni today (Sat. 25th) up in Santa Barbara and
because Eric (Mango) and Jake had to drive up here (LA) from San Diego,
we didn't meet up with the SB crew (Matt and Ayal) till noon. The first
hour on the trail was blazing. Sweat was cascading off Mango's melon
like he had a fire hose hidden in his helmet (black). Luckily the lower
part of the trail went into partial shade or we might have perished.

Yeah, it's in the upper 90's here too. I try to go unicycling, but can
never do it for more than an hour at once in this weather.

40 degrees celcius is too hot to ride...unless there's something
amazingly fun to be ridden.

Lol... Americans. Sometimes. You call 90 (32 celsius) hot? That'd be
average temperature for us in summer. I'd call 104 hot (40 celsius). You
should all come to Australia in summer time for a ride.

hot to MUni for you? *

Let's hope this isn't foreshadowing a wimp-out during our ride tomorrow.

no kidding, this is terrible...i havent touched my uni in 2 weeks. with
all that armour on its just to hot and i know better than to ride
without.

i'm posting this from the Oregon coast. im on the yearly family camping
trip. even here (close to Newport) on the beach its still above 85 F.
any temp over 80 is to hot for me to muni. im going to be hating it at
the Cali muni week-end if its as hot as i hear it can get there in
Tohoe. hopfully we can bring some clouds with us.

Just wait until you go unicycling somewhere, and it's winter, and it's
about 10 degrees Fahrenheit out. THEN WHO'LL BE LAUGHING?!!?!?!??:eek:

Lest I be labeled as a Heat Weanie for the rest of my life I went on a
15+ mile, 2 1/2 hour ride in 90+ F above Christina Lake in BC last
summer ('Pics' (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/albur68)) on a Schwinn
MUni, 140 cranx and 24x2.5 tire. The only time I could feel a sweat was
at the rest stops, the rest of the time the sweat was going straight to
vapor. This was downhill on a railroad grade. I was riding with two
bicyclists.

Add up hills, leg armour, amost triple digit temps, riding solo, and an
unfamiliar trail and it was TOO HOT TO MUNI.

Those of you acclimated to warmer climes: Add 20 degrees F to your
summer average and see if that's hot. :p

Heat is definitely a relative thing. When it hits 90F and 90%+ humidity
it is hot. The water just runs off you. I would love to ride in 90F in
Phoenix with 30-40% humidity. It makes the temps seem a lot hotter when
it is humid. In the Army they actually use a wet bulb index to
determine when it is too hot to train. Here in the South, with the
humidity and heat people drop out all the time. When you sweat and the
air is so saturated that it doesn't evaporate, you don't get the benefit
of the cooling effect sweating should provide.

Actually I love it when it's cooler. I'm prolly the only Australian that
goes shorts and t-shirt when we go to England. All I'm saying is you
guys gotta quit complaining, your 90 degrees days are prolly average or
less than average for us in summer time :p Although I really hate it
when it's hot in Australia, I still go for rides it's just... really
really hot.

I was riding in 90 degree heat with humidity the other day, my heart was
racing, I thought I was gonna pass out. I stopped after only a
half-hour, but still had a headache for hours afterwards. Just not
worth it for me.
