You would be wrong there my noble southern friend....
Compliments of Old man river (literally in my backyard) it also gets rediculously hot and humid here in the summer, (usually late July). We had 2 weeks last year that riding was all but impossible due to the heat and humidity. 100+ temp and humid to boot. Makes me do squidly things like ride to the store with the sleeves off my Icon jacket and no helmet. Dumb I know.... :violent1: The Mississippi also is the breeding ground for mosquitos that are frankly big enough to breed turkeys flat-footed.
Some days it appear that I have chosen to live in the worst place in the USA.
The good news is most of the summer is great, the county roads are twisty (hell WI civil engineers couldn't make a straight road if their lives depended on it), and 99% of roads are paved. ;D Good out of the way food is plentiful. And the county south of where I live has started using a new type of asphalt. It has shiny flakes in it, and although I have no idea of the compisition, I can attest to tires sticking to it like glue.
I'm just bitching because it's Feb, and I want to be on the bike and it's even too damn cold to go sit in the garages next to her........
Rant off.... I promise.
