the roads are melting

[yello]

Cripes it's warm.

It was 38c in our garden today. Even the breeze is warm. I wouldn't even dream of riding in this, I'd end up getting stuck in the tarmac.

I'm going for another shower.

I'll have you know we live in a micro-climate! It's always hotter and drier this side of the border.

 

[s7ephanie]

Cycling's one of the few activities you can enjoy in the heat. Try going for a ride, you'll be amazed at how much cooler you'll feel with the windchill.

 

[yello]

yes, right, windchill will bring it down to a very tolerable (not) 32c!

I don't enjoy it when it's this hot!

I love listening to the neighbours arguing

Just back from my loop taking in Jumilhac-le-Grand. The OP is right, it's an inferno out there and the roads are indeed melting:

Should have left those trees alone. Karma.

Those Creusois folk are no 'neighbours' of mine! They're vermin

Be wary when touring in this region folks, any number plate with a 23 on it.... stay away. We 36s are far more gentile and refined

Thats a bit harsh i thought we were all one big family except we are paying slightly more to help some of you ( not the french that i know of yet ) out of a debt problem

Sorry HW, I don't know what you mean. I hope you realise that I'm only joking. Why, some of my best friends are from the Creuse

windchill is fine, stopping is the problem thats when the shower of sweat begins

I put my motorbike's kickstand through a bit of pavement due to it being too soft not long back.

I'm not sure about that. This afternoon it was what it must be like to cycle inside a hairdryer.
