High heat road hazard
Riding 7" from the midday sun in S Fl. On a regular route I pulled away on a green arrow to a left hand turn (accelerating lightly to load the rear wheel). About 2/3 of the way through the rear wheel let go a bit. It was a 'huh' moment. It caught and there was no problem, just a mild wtf.
I can only guess I hit a tar patch but I didn't see anything (I like to think I'm watching my line).
Is this a high heat road hazard? Can hot asphalt slip away under load while cornering?
Have you hit this?

On the track, on hot days, things can get a little slippery. I’ve never had a problem on city streets and I live in AZ where it’s over 115 today
