How hot is too hot for you?

Ok here in the south, the temps are finally creeping to their June-August norms. For those of you who joy ride and use your bikes for recreation/leisure how hot is too hot before you say no not today?

Bought mid-80's and I'm done. Depends on the humidity too.

Here you would only be able to ride very early in the a.m or at night(maybe)

No doubt.

The humidity here sucks too. I don't know how the folks in Florida ever get to ride. Especially knowing that it will rain any given minute.

I don't know how hot too hot is for me. I've never experienced it.

I do sometimes change my riding depending on the heat/humidity. Here, humidity kills us so I'll just go at night or in the morning on those kinds of days.

Otherwise, I'm pretty much good to go in any kind of heat.

I complain about the snow all winter long so I figure I can't really complain about the heat too.

I ride home every day in the mid 80's with mississippi humidity. No issues. Haven't seen a day yet too hot to ride... Just no place to ride to in ms.

I commute to work on my bike and the mornings are not that bad, the ride home has not been bad as of yet but that's because of the rain we've had on the way home. I don't mind arriving home from work sweaty, just don't want to arrive to work wet or sweaty.

I can't do heat. High 20's and I'm using the car with AC cranked.

I hear ya... I'm lucky that I change at work and have showers there if I need'm... but it's only like 70 or so when I go to work... so I don't even sweat... riding home I sweat a lot... a lot more traffic too...

I do well in the heat though... always have...
