Took a ride today
Went on one of my "urban safaris" today, where I explore places within the greater Phoenix area. Today we visit PIR (Phoenix International Raceway), which is located against the Estrella mountains west of Phoenix.
We had our first rain of the monsoon Friday/Saturday so it is not only hot, it's considerably more humid than usual right now.

CJ if I had known you were in the area I would have invited you over. I live about 8 miles west of PIR.
And it was rather humid today, wife did not feel like riding, so I pulled the seat off in order to install an accessory fuse block. Did not get very far as it got way toasty in the garage too fast. |

Yesterday was more humid than today though. I rode over to Union Hills and I-17 and it was just nasty.

I bet it is uncomfortable. We have been getting up in the mid 90's when it isn't raining with the humidity in the 60 - 80% range. Kind of like a sauna. That brings the heat index up to ~ 115 - 118 degrees.

Looks like you had a good trip other than the heat and humidity. I need to start doing more of that. Problem is catching up with work and then around the house.

Joel, I've come to the conclusions that the only way to catch up at work is to retire and the only way to catch up at home is to move into a condominium. Can't do the first and don't want to do the second so I guess I'll never catch up at either.

Great pictures Scott, thanks for posting them. Glad you were able to have a fairly decent ride.
Mitch you have got to give up work one of these days.
