Five again but no breaks

A day out at the Moss drive out and do five, maybe more? Set out in sunshine arrive in the snow hohum. Parked at the top and set off down the hill on the Yellow Peril, slush on the road makes the descending "interesting" and my legs blinking cold. (A warm up of some kind would be good to get the legs working first) first time up the lungs need to be freed up a little but progress is made. First turn around at the top and the weather is laid out in front of me in sections, you can see the different conditions at different heights. This descent is a little better the winds have dropped a bit and aren't trying as hard to throw me over the road into the abyss. Second ascent and I have time to notice the same things as my last five up the p*ss bottle, the dropped 'bidon' and the motorcyclists visor all old friends. The lower gearing is making this a bit less exertive if a little slower. Next time up is uneventful but on the way down one more mad cyclist is spied climbing the hill, a hare for this old dog on the way up. I catch him before the top to give him encouragement on my way down again, he is over the hill and away before I summit the last time. Cold has seeped in and five will do I don't want to risk another descent on cold fingers.
