The hot chocolate I drank at the village still stands as the best I've ever had, though the conditions may have been a factor. Not so much as a wisp of wind, though. Dead calm.
Ever get a chance to do it by night, it's pretty cool! Had a group of 20 ride up few years back. With a bud couple of times and a couple of times solo. Can be pretty eerie going up at night alone.
Coldest night ride 39 degrees. Coldest rain ride 29 degrees.

Solo ride, reflector/light test shot.
