After climbing the Col d'Iseran on day 3 of the Fireflies ride we hit the descent as a -15C blizzard came in. We rode the 20km down right through it. Freezing!

  • This was one of the worst moments of my life. Hideous.

  • @AntMcL1 @AntMcL1 braking was near impossible as our whole bodies were numb from cold, also the brakes were freezing over. You couldn't see as the snow was blowing into our faces and the road was really slippery. speed ranged from 5mph - 25mph depending on how hard you could pull the leavers.

  • @markyj1 What sort of speeds were you doing? It must have been near impossible to stop the bike sliding around....

  • @AntMcL1 thanks, we didnt know it would be that bad but what goes up must come down!
