Here's a couple of pics when the wind let up enough to keep my balance!
...and here's one from the afternoon ride back; condition a bit worse than the morning commute.
Note: Also took the photos off the B/F server in order to minimize my footprint.

i'm looking forward to some sun, some thermal baths and some great food/drink
