2013 col de la Madeleine and we climbed it in 30 degree heat only for it to start raining heavily at the top. Like a seasoned pro I had my arm warmers and rain jacket and gloves in my back pocket but felt obliged to share them out between my two boys (out of picture) and so had a freezing descent at the bottom of which I was within a whisker of hypothermia (back up to 25 degrees c but shivering violently and had the heater on in the car for the next hour until my core temperature returned to normal).
