Sole MeunièreIt’s early, very early on an ice-cold morning. Temperatures are just above freezing.

The wind cuts across the road and freezes my hands to the bars.

So, with a degree of abandon, we met soon after sunrise and headed south.  Temperatures were holding above zero and after about 30 minutes cycling the pain (along with the feeling) went out of my extremities.
