But at 6am, the temps were in the mid- to upper 60s. My club rides at 6am during the week. On weekends, we start at 7 or 7:30 depending on the expected noon temp. Even down here, it's rarely above the upper 80s by noon.
I did the Battle of Atlanta (Peachtree 10K) that year it was 100+
Not the finest hour for anyone, or even half-hour.
