Rain

I was planning on doing the Col du Coq today, but was feeling bad along the entire flat ride to the base, and then quickly ran out of gas on the climb. I've been feeling run down lately, and also made the mistake of taking an antihistamine, which I think conspired to put me into a perfect storm of weakness. About a third of the way up, I realized that it probably wasn't going to happen. And speaking of storms, I saw some menacing looking clouds off on the horizon. The clouds soon turned very dark indeed, and I found myself in the by now familiar situation of getting water kicked up in my face and getting compleyely soaked. It isn't really that big of a deal when you are on the valley floor, where it is warm and not very much braking is required. Still, it got a little miserable toward the end
