Summer Sucks!

Have you ever noticed that a lot of skiers and riders don't handle summer very well at all. Aside from the desire to be on the slopes, we are mostly a breed that doesn't like heat. Me, I don't really want it over the mid-70 range and I hate humidity. While many skiers and riders spend time hiking in the summer, a lot of those hikes come early or late in the season, but not so much when summer is at its' muggiest. Thankfully I have the outlet to be able to sail and live on the coast, but I can't imagine living in the mountains in the summer unless it was a place like Lake Tahoe. People have this perception that Maine is always this cold place, but in the summer our inland areas get as hot if not hotter than most parts of the country and we get black flies. Yikes!
