[RC] Riding in the heat and humidity - Susan Young Casey

Foxhunters are having a discussion about riding in the heat and humidity.  Endurance riders have been taught not to ride when the sum of the heat and humidity is over 150.  So, how do you folks in the Carolinas, GA, TX, and other hot and humid states condition during the summer?

Are there very many summer rides in these humid states?

These foxhunters are saying, "Well, guess that means I shouldn't be riding now but that would only leave me about 4 months in the whole year to ride!"  I think that's a bunch of hooey.  The humidity drops here in OK so I know it does everywhere else too. 

So, fill me in.  How do you condition in the hot&humid summer?
