Yeah - I'm one of them.
I love the summer weather they are getting this year.

what are they getting? 78 minutes of summer.
Hell we've got more heating in 20 minutes here in RI today than they've had all summer. I'd be cool with that. Ecstatic about it in fact. Riding in 65-75 degree weather is brilliant. Perfect. A bit of rain? No worries. No sun? No problem.
That said, I did grow up out there. I am firmly one of those who rusts, and forever am on the look out for the rust stained T-shirt that proudly states:
"Washingtonian's don't tan they RUST!"
Check out the Seattle Times and then the KOMO weatherman's web log.
It has been a challenging day and reading those two just now has made me much happier. Of course now I have to get on the bike and ride in the nice cool - oh wait, it is cool. 85° out there. Hey it is a nice dry 50% humidity too. Um. Yeah that sounds awesome.
Tomorrow, TT. When it is over 90° the air is less dense right? Lower drag=faster times, right? No update on the web page yet. We also have to wait to see if they have a substitute for Dave (not foley) the time keeper/official. Will check w/them tomorrow pop an update here, twitter or on G+...

Aye - hotter temps, less density. Planes fall out of the sky & bicycles *can* go faster - but that breathing thing becomes less efficient.
yes, that breathing thing, lower oxygen density + potential for muscles to overheat and become less efficient probably evens it out.
