I'm in CT, but in June we had an early heat wave when the temps were in the upper 90's. Coming home one day, the temp on my bike computer hit 102 because of the heat coming off of the blacktop.

I just drank extra water before, took it easy on the (9-mile) ride home and drank extra water at home.

Not a big deal, although everyone else seemed to think it was.

I will admit that I wear the "full kit" - spandex and hi-vis bike shirt, but that's because I sweat profusely and need the hi-vis for all the CT drivers who aren't used to seeing a commuter on a bike.
