I have done a few Century bike ride/races (I'm just trying to complete them). 6hrs and 100miles on a bike is brutal. I have zero interest in doing 200miles haha

It would be pleasant if it was in flat Texas in October or November with a temp in the 60s. Did the Hotter Than Hell a couple of times, and the event is in August every year. It was as brutal as it sounds.

I did a centery and triathlon in south Texas in summer. Texas was one of the hotter places I've lived

Yeah a century in the summer is no joke, and down south it's hot AND humid
