Central TX here. All my races are usually in the fall or winter, so I could train heat acclimation, but it won’t really buy me much. I do all my speed work on the trainer anyway (too many short hills around here, can’t settle into a rhythm for intervals), and then Z2 outdoors to get some heat boost (another thread here about heat training for additional gains). I’ll try to get in longer Z2 rides on Saturday mornings, leaving around 6am, but it does still get HOT by the end. I feel your pain. I did have the trainer in the garage one season and man that was toasty. I like ice water over my head in those situations.
