It's mainly only a problem above 30C/86F, and we don't get a lot of those days, but we do get very high humidity in summer.
Makes sense. I AM a morning person (been getting up 4 a.m. for the last 35 years or so). I have a pretty hilly ride too. For some of those hills I'm going to start sweating before I get to the top unless I get off and push. Down here in Atlanta on a summertime commute to work I'll literally be drenched with sweat - i.e. dripping off me as I walk etc. No sweat - no bike ride.
