The best thing about summer rides...

...is no freezing descents.
...is not having to carry arm/leg warmers for said cold, freezing descents!
 
...is not having to dress for Everest when climbing Tomin no mori!
 
Getting under the mountain spring shower near the top of Yabitsu pass. And then filling your bottles with more cold spring water even nearer the top.

Descending Yabitsu down to Hadano.

This is the best thing about summer rides. Even on the rare occasion it`s not too hot (the official, quoted temperature is always under the temps I see), it still leaves the humidity to deal with, and if you want to stop for a break the mosquitos or hornets come after you. Good riddance!
 
Being able to get out on traffic-free roads at 5 or so, and not needing any lights besides.

(obviously, daylight is later now than in june...)

That is great, I'm an early rider as well.
