A noticeable temperature difference. And sometimes the heat keeps people off the path, too.dbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09527673886975332497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198843833237575122.post-61960879317523985612009-07-24T05:28:10.343-06:002009-07-24T05:28:10.343-06:00You have to love summertime riding in Boise.

Aaahhh. Drivers miss so much. <br /><br />As far as staying cool, I'm with you in that cyclists tend to be better acclimated than non-cyclists because we're out there in it all year. Yes, it gets hot in the summer, but your body becomes an efficient sweating machine in Boise's dry air. <br /><br />When that isn't quite enough, there's nothing like hopping from canal to canal to dip your helmet and shirt in icy water.Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198843833237575122.post-7385120868037897362009-07-23T09:28:32.740-06:002009-07-23T09:28:32.740-06:00I live only about 3 miles from work so I'm fin...I live only about 3 miles from work so I'm fine on even the hottest days if I take it slowly.<br /><br />At least we don't have to deal with heat and humidity in this part of the country.bob tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198843833237575122.post-48808643068783710992009-07-23T08:48:55.301-06:002009-07-23T08:48:55.301-06:00I rode a bit of the Greenbelt yesterday when runn...I rode a bit of the Greenbelt yesterday when running an errand.
