Heh, we don't know riding at the North Pole either, but it sure felt like it this extended
winter.....

Still wearing multiple layers and sweats on occasion, -c.porter.

I guess I should've mentioned that I've also lived in Florida. I would assume that FL and Louisiana
have similar humidity? Plus, I lived for a while in AZ, so anything above about 30% humidity is
high. The benefit to CT is that the "hot" weather lasts maybe a month. In AZ, I think it's hot all
the time. There's never a time when it isn't hot. Well, I guess there is one day in January.

Well Frankie Andreu uses it, and the guys at La Bicicletta use that term, so what more do you want?

I've even seen John Lieswyn use it in his race report to discribe a small breakaway group, he said
'groupo compacto'.

Ok, so Lieswyn has never proven himself against the best UCI riders like I have, but he still has
something to say.

Coming from the Mississippi River Valley near St. Louis, where you can find some of the
God-awfullest weather in the United States, I was most impressed with one July/August I spent in
Baltimore. Absolutely ridiculous heat/humidity.

Once again, try the MRV.

I was raised in the midwest (Iowa) and my grandparents lived in Missouri, so I spent time there too,
and moved around to various places in the Navy. None of them compare for miserable summer weather to
central Florida (Orlando). Hotter than New England (not more humid, though), and generally both
hotter and more humid than the midwest (though the hottest days are hotter in IA and MO), and
thunderstorms nearly every afternoon between 2:30 and 3:00, which commonly dumped an inch or more of
rain in less than an hour.
