Early ride up the Albula pass

Training for the upcoming cycle race on Sunday (which M entered us for before he pulled out - familiar story this year) I headed off early this morning to see how I faired. The main is a shot at the start of the climb and the extra looking back towards the pass at the start of the descent. Between the two shots there was rain, wind and plenty of uphill climbing. I returned drenched, cold and exhausted but glad to have hung onto the brakes sufficiently hard on the descent!
