Ride to Seymour and back

Cycling up Seymour reminded me how much I hate this mountain. Forecast to be sunny today, the mountain was shrouded in cold fog, even though it is August! But wors (and I had forgotten how bad it always is in the summer), I was greeted at the summit with deer flies - hundreds of them, swooping in for an attack within minutes of my arrival. It was so fierce that I had to get on my bike and escape as fast as I could back down the mountain. Thanks to the chilly descent, by the time I got to the bottom, I was shaking with cold. It took a half hour to get warm enough in the coffee shop at the base before I felt good enough to continue on home.
