Re: Longest Day
When I lived in England back in the late 90's I remember how quickly it got dark in the winter time. Before I went there, I lived in North Michigan. Then I looked on a map and realized that England was considerable further North than Michigan. Birmingham has latitude around 52 degrees and Michigan is only 43 degrees. As I recall it started getting dark around 4 pm. Not much sun in the winter time either. Easy to get depressed.

Re: Longest Day
I moved from New Jersey to North Carolina last year. I found I did less riding in the summer and more in fall and spring. In winter I have the Gerbing toaster suit.
In summer it's just too hot to ride, especially in rush hour coming home from work. I'll do more evening and night riding now and sleep later. Or early morning riding. Whichever.

Re: Longest Day
Yes Will, that sounds familiar. I spent 2 yrs working with the USMC at MCAS Cherry Point, NC back in the mid eighties. I used to commute daily from Emerald Isle to the base, and the heat in the summer, well, the humidity more so, was unbearable. Needless to say, I commuted by car! Air con was an absolute essential in both home and car. Despite the summer heat, it was an enjoyable time in NC! [size=78%] [/size]
