Gran Canaria in Sept - too hot?

Hi
Anyone tried the south of Gran Canaria in mid Sept? (ie end of this week)
Will it be too hot for riding?
Weather forecast suggests 25C highs but I remember in Fuerteventura some bloke saying it was very difficult in summer.
Probs heading out earlyish morning / very late afternoon for a few hours. 50 to 70km and definitely some of the climbs nearer to the resort.
Unlikely to do any all day rides.
Mainly there for the beach but thought I'd hire a bike.
Cheers

its warm there but nothing too silly and theres always a good breeze to keep you cool. I'd say about perfect frankly...
Freemotion are the place to go for a bike and guided rides every day or routes to ride at your leisure. Have fun.
Have been in touch with FreeMotion. They seem good. Will post a report soon...
I'm off to GC next week and have contacted freemotion about a bike, so trying to plan out a route or two.
Cheers,

A few drinks in the evening meant we started out rides at 11:00 or 12:00 each day and yes it is very warm then but i'm a rider who can cope with the heat and have a full zip jersey so no real issues. My friend found it too hot some days and we did have to stop off all the time for water.
If you head out early morning you can get cooler temps and it does get cooler as you get away from the beach and higher up. Roads are really smooth and the drivers will just stay behind you until it is safe to pass, some even offered us water.
Just go out there and have a good time
