Riding in Hell
The weather today is really gross. I rode in on my bike in the morning and later at lunch I had to ride back home and it was just awful. Its not only really dusty but at some points on the Gulf Road the air becomes really hot for some reason and it just makes things disgusting. It was terrible, I think riding season is nearly over.

The topic should be, “The heat has finally fried Mark’s mind, so he decided to ride today.”

You have a bike? Sounds cool .. But yeah, as you said, riding season is probably over .. It became too hot and I don’t know how do riders insist on riding although it’s very hot..
p.s Marzouq, you have a very nice bike

Just thinking about the heat in Kuwait makes me want to think of the arrival of the first monsoon showers in Kerala, the Konkan coast and in Mumbai. Marzuq should try visiting Mumbai when it rains(July- Sept). Riding a bike on the Worli seaface, Mahalaxmi or the Queen’s necklace ( Marine Drive) when it’s drizzling can be Maha-fun. Of course, when the monsoon clouds are pouring their guts out, the roads can be very slippery which makes it dangerous but otherwise, light rains are fabulous. Also you might want to bike it up the 180 km long Mumbai-Poona national expressway at 560 metres above sea level for that extra shot of adrenaline, which is missing at sea level.

The weather here is amazingly awful and has gotten 100x worse in the past 5 years alone.
the unpredictable cocktail of extreme heat, humidity, dirty rain, pollution and heavy dust makes this prob the worst climate on the planet, next to crazy shit like extreme cold in the north pole or near an active volcano. no other place on earth does it go from extreme dry heat and dust to humid and freezing rain within a few hours.
i really can’t think of many more worst climates to live in, esp in heavily populated areas. it’s like punishment from god.
