Guest Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 We've now had two months non-stop heatwave......40C+ most days!Hottest for 40 years apparently.......and there are numerous cases of people throughout the country dying of heatstroke.The only way to get a ride is go out early.......and keep moving! So I went up the lakes.http://www.motorcyclesport.net/xt/xt238.jpgToo hot to go on these.....http://www.motorcyclesport.net/pics/26715a.jpgWater looks good as usual.....http://www.motorcyclesport.net/pics/26715b.jpghttp://www.motorcyclesport.net/xt/xt239.jpghttp://www.motorcyclesport.net/pics/26715c.jpgView from the bridge! I've ridden along those trails at the bottom.....but obviously in more sensible temperatures.http://www.motorcyclesport.net/pics/26715d.jpgThe wall of the Dam!http://www.motorcyclesport.net/pics/26715e.jpgAnd then back along the canal paths......amazed there's any water in them!http://www.motorcyclesport.net/xt/xt240.jpgHere's a short vid!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcCL8qrbC6o Quote
Steve D Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 That looks good. Sitting here in the pissing rain, I'm jealous! Quote
RantMachine Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 It does look very pretty, I'm jealous of the scenery. But I can go outside and not die, and that's something I value Quote
Guest Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 I've been here 10 years......so any British metabolism I ever had has long since gone!But this year has been really brutal......no let up whatsoever with temps still in the 30's at midnight. Quote
A40man Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 wow, looks fab out there Yes I can imagine it can be uncomfortable though Quote
Stu Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 looks a lovely place and I would love to visit the area at some point on the bike but not at 40°c Quote
Guest Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 looks a lovely place and I would love to visit the area at some point on the bike but not at 40°c Man up Stu! http://www.motorcyclesport.net/pics/therm.jpg Quote
Tankbag Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 looks a lovely place and I would love to visit the area at some point on the bike but not at 40°c Man up Stu! http://www.motorcyclesport.net/pics/therm.jpg I'd compare this to wanting to be the first man to reach the north pole wearing shorts Quote
TC Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Looks lovely but i'm your typical Britnice cool summer evening will do me. Quote
Fozzie Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Heatwave is ongoing I hear?Shame it's because we're buggering up the planet. But on the bright side we'll all soon be on electric motorbikes... Instant torque.Water looks lovely, but I bet in the middle of the day it still isn't cooling enough for the body! Quote
Tankbag Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 It's still hitting 39 in Marmaris, crap a brick ! Quote
Sableye Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Nice pics! Neighbours just back from 2 weeks in Turkey, said its been hitting 50 over there o.o Quote
