Rode home against the advice of many of my (non cycling) peers. Lots of snow, no other cyclists, very few people about, few cars, succeeded on a hill where all the cars trying were failing. Ok it's not Alpe d'Huez but I felt proud willing my way up, fighting the urge to get out the saddle/getting off and pushing. The look on the bemused car drivers/pedestrians' faces was a bonus. It was also nice to get shouts of encouragement (for being stupid enough to ride home in such weather).
