Some have trial by wind and fire, you had trial by wet and ice!
Hail hurts, even thru thick padded gear. It's one of the few conditions I will not ride in. As soon as the first hail starts to drop, I'm under an overpass or gas station awning.
Keep in mind next time you're out... if it's been a long while since the last rain, more than a couple days in fact, get your arse off the road for the first 30-60 minutes of rain, let it wash that oil off the surface first. That is the worst time to be on the road is at the beginning of a rain. It's worse the longer it's been since the last rain.
