Let's see how many miles I get in from June to August. When it's 105-115 F outside you either suffer mightily, or get up well before the crack of dawn during the very months when dawn comes early, or you just don't ride at all.
I was fortunate enough to get to ride with the FASTER Race team based out of Scottsdale a couple of years ago. Even though it was December it was a joy to ride in 70 degree weather knowing it was snowing back home. Not so joyous was being out of shape and hearing... 'when we turn the next corner we will be ratcheting it up'... Killin me Smalls, killin me.
