Winds calm this morning. ~40F. More blue sky and sunshine.

On two afternoons this week I've seen a guy who I think is a commuter but I'm not outgoing enough to ask him. He's kind of a power-rider. Never slows down, even for trail congestion. Seems to have roughly my cruise speed, but he's on a much nicer bike of some kind, with small panniers, no other accessories, and clipless pedals. And he wears green and white lycra. (Nobody here, is it?)

Yesterday he passed me when I was coasting over a bridge checking out scenery (Lake Champlain and Adirondack Mountains) and sipping some water. I reeled him back in, barely. Eventually we went our own separate ways.
