| Re: Humidity affect on biking speed
Putting the science aside, I love riding in hot humid weather. I feel cool
when riding because of the air flow around me. I like it when I look down
at the water bottles and have sweat drip off my chin. When I roll up to a
stop sign is like walking in to an oven. My arm and leg instantly get wet
with sweat. It makes me feel really strong. ( ha ha)
Yesterday it was around 90 deg F and very humid in Oshkosh and I rode 51
miles. I drank about twice as much as I usually do, about two water bottles
an hour.
