I assume that by road bike, you are talking about the 77 Grand Prix? If so, does it have straight rims or hooked? If it has straight, then you can't go to the 90psi that your tires recommend. Being out in the sun wouldn't increase the pressure enough on a hooked rim to blow the tires off, but at 90psi on a straight rim, it would be barely holding on.
