Increasing your strength and endurance should be easy. The three things that can make it difficult are heat exhaustion, a lack of energy, and being dehydrated. Riding a bicycle can use up a lot of energy and sweating uses up a lot of water.
Always Take Snacks and Water
Bring food and cold water. Thermoses and ice can keep the water cold for most of the day. I bring a water bottle and a thermos because one may not be enough.
Try an Earlier or Later Start Time
On really hot days leaving 30 minutes earlier in the morning or later in the afternoon can make a huge difference.
In the summer, biking home between 4:30 and 5:00 was brutal. I suffered from heat exhaustion and dehydration while trying to get home by 6:00 pm. Leaving later fixed that problem. The rides are easier and more enjoyable.
