The Weather Outside Is...

Well as of 12-11-06, it isn't really that frightful. But for us northeners, we all know its a comin'. For Oude Granny, the image that always pops into my mind when I see snow is Andy Hampsten muscling his way over the Passo Gavia, as a Velonews reader exclaimed..."My god...it would have paled in comparison to what the hard men of days gone by suffered through. When Hampsten rode over the Gavia to secure his 1988 Giro win in a blinding snowstorm, it was -4 Celsius. He was knocking snowballs from his hair for god's sake (and he had quite a head of hair!)"


On a lighter note: here's Andy, Bob Roll, and Ron Keifel (Team 7-Eleven) on a much different type of road machine. Enjoy!
