How hot is too hot for you?

Ok here in the south, the temps are finally creeping to their June-August norms. For those of you who joy ride and use your bikes for recreation/leisure how hot is too hot before you say no not today?

Bought mid-80's and I'm done. Depends on the humidity too.

Here you would only be able to ride very early in the a.m or at night(maybe)

No doubt.

The humidity here sucks too. I don't know how the folks in Florida ever get to ride. Especially knowing that it will rain any given minute.

I don't know how hot too hot is for me. I've never experienced it.

I do sometimes change my riding depending on the heat/humidity. Here, humidity kills us so I'll just go at night or in the morning on those kinds of days.

Otherwise, I'm pretty much good to go in any kind of heat.

I complain about the snow all winter long so I figure I can't really complain about the heat too.

I'm a Phoenix native and I currently live in Okinawa. I ride year-round. There's no such thing as too hot.

Don't really have a "max"temp I'll go out in.

Been out 100+ weather with the leather jacket, jeans. gloves and boots.
If it's above 95 and humid I'll have my water pack.

What can I say, I'm a fair weather rider. I ride for fun. When I'm baking in my gear it's not fun.
