Tough as nails?

Right Dano?

It may qualify as tough as nails but it did not seem too bad to me.  I was pretty motivated to ride in whatever weather was thrown at me today.  I hung around til about 9:30 and started suiting up for a cold, wet ride.  I did the double chamois with plastic bag between and put bags under my shoe covers to keep my feet a bit dryer.  Just like when I was 10 and had awesome moon boots and had to put bread bags on my feet.  I also packed an extra pair of gloves in a ziplock for the second half of the ride.  I even fashioned some fenders out of a plastic bottle to keep the spray off me.  It was about 0C when I left and as I went higher the snow started to fall. 

I headed down to Mijoux and up to Col de la Faucille.  I came about a K short before I turned around.  The snow/slush was building but I did have my cx tires on so that gave me a little more confidence in the descent.

These were half way up, it got worse

I stayed warm and dry with the glove switch and finished out with a hard 2 hour ride.  The rest of the day was steady snowfall.

Maybe we can bust out the skis before this whole thing is over.  Back to the hospital tomorrow.
