Snake Pass and Mam Tor

With the sun shining on a landscape covered in snow, today was a great day for a bike ride. Our 100km trip took us over Snake Pass (5km at 7% average) and along the abandoned road up to Mam Tor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mam_Tor). The two weeks at altitude appear to have improved my LT power (though I didn't do any specific training on that yet), but my endurance has suffered from not being on the bike for a month: I'm on the couch now, almost in a coma.
