I am no worse in the heat, as long as i stay properly hydrated, but i do sweat a lot, which means a lot of fluids and electrolytes have to going back in my body to compensate. Though i have ridden comfortably in all temps ranging from -30°F to 100+°, my favorite riding temp as far as comfort is concerned for higher effort riding is probably in the high 60's.
