Mars -- be careful out there, it was under those same conditions that I had my altercation with that fence! Remember there are probably friends and family who can come pick you up if worse comes to worst.
Cyclaholic -- that is some very impressive speed if I do the math correctly. No wonder you left the roadie boy in full kit behind. While I can't beat the roadies for speed I feel morally superior when I'm out there in the snow or rain and the roadies are in their cars or maybe mass trans. I may be slower but I'm hardier and more rugged or perhaps just crazier -- either way I'll feel morally superior.
