Where did the blue sky go?

Woke up to a cold and rainy looking day, so I was thinking that a bit of work followed by a rest day would be on the cards,  but then I convinced myself that the weather was clearing. I'd been up to visit Guy Little at Ornon the previous afternoon, we stayed with Guy and his wife Helyn on our previous trip, Guy suggested a nice scenic 90km ride, so once I'd convinced myself that the weather was clearing off I went.
Umm which one today?
Needless to say I was wrong, the further I got into the scenic ride the wetter, foggier and colder it got, not to mention the fact that I couldn't actually see any scenery. I climbed up to beyond Laffrey before deciding that there was no point continuing the loop. I turned around and headed back the same way, stopped for something hot to eat in Laffery then continued home, still managed a 62km ride with a pretty tough climb up Laffery though, I'll just have to return another day when the weather clears and I can actually see the scenery.
A nice hot shower was the more than welcome followed by lunch and then into Bourg d Oisans to my favourite bakery to enjoy a lemon tart and espresso, do some washing and a bit of shopping.
