It usually takes me about 2 weeks to adapt to the heat once the thermometer gets above 90. I notice that I can’t ride as hard as I can in the cooler weather, or as far. My strategy is to get out there everyday with PLENTY of water and just let my body get used to the heat. I drink much more than I think I need to. Last year this strategy worked for me, and after 2 weeks I was back to my regular strength. Keep an eye out for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke (nausea, headache, muscle cramps, dizziness).

Not everybody can adjust to high heat. Early-early morning rides probably work best for those who have trouble taking heat.
