[MB] Exactly. We used to meet in Minneapolis in March and had super cold weather. I personally will take the heat over the cold anyday (which is why I live in Texas). It is very individual. I can ride my bike on a day when it's 40C and be just fine. I did a 100k last summer with a high of 41.2C. And, as noted elsewhere, we're usually in hotels and conference centers with AC and I always have a sweater on hand. So, I think this whole discussion is not likely to have constructive results.
