Clearly a western rider.  While what Joe refered to was extreme - even for
the Southeast, if we cancelled rides here because of high heat/humidity our
riding season would be short indeed.  I rmember the Castle Rock ride of a
few years ago and had to smile at the description of the conditions.  Those
conditions describe the conditions of a lot of the Southeast rides.  Eighty
degrees and 80% humidity can be fairly normal for the East, in particularly
the Southeast.

In FL the lowest humidity I have seen reported by the weather bureau is 45%.
