Same here. I averaged 17.5mph on a 30 mile ride today. Temperature was 95-99 Fahrenheit. I felt rather sapped after the ride too, as if I had put far more miles down than 30. Haven't been riding for too long though. I've heard people say your body will eventually get used to the Arizona heat. I have my doubts...
Looking forward to my first (cycling) winter in the desert!
