Ah, the dog days of summer. If you're like most motorcyclists, you ride
primarily during the warm months between May and September, when
the grass is high and the asphalt clear. It's the best time for frost-free
cruising, but it also brings scorching
temperatures and uncomfortable
humidity, sometime amplified by the
heat coming from your own motorcycle.
Whether you describe “Hot Weather”
as 80 degrees or 110 degrees, if you
are riding for several hours in heated
temperatures, the main thing to prevent
is also the most obvious: DEHYDRATION.
Dehydration is excessive loss of water
from the body. Hydration and other tips
for staying cool can be found here.
Want a fun afternoon ride? Take VA Rt 14 West from Rt 33 to to 360,
a little road they call "The Trail". Lots of curves at 60 mph, but mind
those sharp curves. Take it easy on your first run, then let it go!
