Hard core riding

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.

I wouldn't even drive a car in those conditions. That's not derring-do, it's foolhardiness.

I wouldn't recommend you ever move north of MD then ... that's pretty much par for the course where I grew up (Kalamazoo, Michigan) pretty much two or three weeks out of each winter.
