Those of us in the Pacific Northwest are seeing record highs for this area. Never before reached temperatures in modern times. It'll reach 107 today with Sunday and Monday being 114 both days! I rode this morning trying to get the little breather I could before locking myself in the A/C. I don't know how some of you in these climates go by your day to day activities, mad props to y'all...

I lived in north west of PA for awhile and no one had air conditioning. Heat obviously, but it never got hot there. I had a small 5000 BTU window unit that I lugged up there just because. The following summer we had a heatwave! Was so glad I had that little window unit still! But stay safe and cool everyone. Hopefully the heatwave wont drag on.

Bummer that our Vespa Parade was cancelled in Portland! Absolutely a good call by Vespa PDX - 115F rides sound awful.

So I just went out for a morning ride in skyline Hillsboro area with a few enthusiasts. It was ok the first part but as soon as it hit the century mark everything changed. The air got different, the bike response was different and it was miserable. We immediately went to Mcmennimens rock Creek tavern at open and had some drinks and food. Ride home across to Portland home was literally drenching, cold shower time. Can't believe it's gonna go up 13 more degrees 🥵

Well it only reached 110 today so I guess we should be lucky. It hasn't been this hot in Oregon hardly ever in June. Hopefully this isn't a precursor to how warm this summer will be.

ugh, the year I lived in Portland without a/c was already torture, and it wasn't anywhere near these temps. I can't imagine how my old neighbors are doing now.
Stay safe y'all! |

I took ride to Seaside Friday, then down to Lincoln City Saturday. Left Lincoln City back to Portland at 7:00am on Sunday to try and beat the heat!

Riding conditions are great in Portland now. Partially cloudy with nighttime temperatures in the 60s and daytime topping out in the 80s. Morning rides are lovely.
