T'was a beautiful spring day on The Mountain this morn.
The poppy population is down, and there's a little more brown.
Arm warmers felt nice most of the ride. Plus Belgian Hardmen wear them and Roubaix is tomorrow.

One guy at the Summit said it was his first time. He thought it was a big accomplishment but didn't plan on doing it again soon.
