The UK branch of the Iron Butt Association holds regular rides-to-eat (RTE) across Europe. A location is picked and everyone rides separately and meets up at 4pm local time for a photo followed by a meal.
Last weekend the location was the Millau viaduct in the south of France and, fortunately, I decided not to go. Many did though and I have enjoyed reading the tales of derring-do on the IBA forum.
Rain, high winds, sleet, snow, temperatures down to -12c, frozen roads, several slidey "offs" (no damage, no injury). One of them posted this video of the road between Millau and Rodez.

Sounds like hell.....I road through Arizona last June...starting my around the country ride...it was at least 112 degrees..I was glad when it was over....and I got into the California foot hills....
Nobody wanted to wake the psychiatric nurse up. She is a little pi$$y when the loonies make to much noise late at night.
