The hot part is right after you get in, waiting to get going, and the first 2,000 feet. And on the way down, that last 1,000 feet and the time it takes to land, come to a stop, and get out of the glider.
Much like any small aircraft, it does get dang hot on the ground.
One of my friends is a glider instructor. Or he was. He is 88 years old now, so not flying much anymore. He took my wife and I each on separate flights. The best areas are outside of the city, and about an hour drive away. They have a glider club, and a pilot on standby all day to tow the glider. And you can just rent a glider if you join the club.
