| 100+ | Not even going downhill feels cool. Where is that 62 mile loop through densely shaded forest?…Oh that’s right, it doesn’t exist, all I have is burning asphalt and diesel fumes. Anticipate vomiting at some point. |
| 100 | If inflated to max PSI your tires may likely explode. If you have to race you pray you have an early start time. If you don’t have an early start time, then consider feigning injury. If you don’t feign injury and actually race you might actually get injured--its called Heat Stroke. |
| 90 | Makes for a really lousy commute, especially if it is this temp for your ride in to work and you forgot to bring an extra t-shirt…and deodorant. You sweat even before you’ve started riding. Jerseys don’t seem to unzip enough. You will invariably run out of water at some point on your ride and will start hating life. You will eventually find water again at some point and instantly become a Pro Tour star again, have no fear. |
| 80 | Great riding weather, it is easy to get warmed up and you never get cold even on long descents. It is still warm but you don’t necessarily always finish your ride in a pool of your own sweat and stink which makes your significant other like you just a touch more. |
| 73* | Note, Kate says this is the ideal temperature |
| 70 | Is it early fall? Spring? Can I start wearing shorts again? Do my legs look too white? If it rains I won’t be hating life. |
| 60 | Perfect weather to get on your cruiser and go get a beer. Pretty good weather to ride other bikes too I suppose. |
| 50 | Leg and arm warmer weather. I think this is the perfect temperature. |
| 40 | Need a jacket, likely a hat and full finger gloves for sure…leg warmers still a go. Going downhill starts to really suck and you notice how bad your sunglasses are at blocking wind. |
| 30 | Bye, bye leg warmers, hello fountain of snot…and that post-ride cough. What is that anyway, pneumonia or something? Oh it IS pneumonia, bummer. |
| 20 | Considering your trainer? |
| 10 | Considering a therapist? |
| 0 | You really need to be put somewhere, where you can’t do yourself harm. This is the point at which your eyeballs freeze. |
| Sub | Best of luck to you! |
Today came in slighly above 0, and yes my eyeballs actually froze.
