N/A
February 16, 2023

With the temperature in Dandenong now predicted to be around 36C, I think the best option is to cancel the ride. Those that really want to ride could do a ride close to their own home. If they started at 8 am, they could be finished by 10 am. If the heat is really extreme, you could also return home quickly.
