I can't imagine riding in hail and that kind of weather in shorts, tee shirts and no gloves.

That looks like my bike on Deadman's Pass in April. I was riding in the snow tracks at 30 mph with trucks passing me in the other lane at 65. My bike tires were in the track.... but my trailer tires were pushing snow or plowing their own track.
