Not good news.

| John's car this morning. |
We are not that far from Grenoble and about 1,000 metres up. Beautiful scenery when it's visible but the weather is quite extreme – temp just above freezing, occasional snow showers and VERY occasional sun. Locals say these are the worst conditions in living memory, and they had a winter like the UK one.
We had a brief ride this morning (20 km) including a whiteout, and a much nicer, longer one this afternoon up to a local col. The women's challenge event scheduled for tomorrow has been cancelled already. I doubt that they'll call off the main one on Sunday, but I think 130 km will be plenty, rather than the 177 km thing. I'm very slow up the hills, as I expected!

| I had to buy some headgear at lunchtime... Sorry. |
