We'll make you pay for that in, um, 6 months! You wait!

High teens F this morning (~ -8C). The airport weather claims calm wind but that's not what I felt hitting me in the face next to Lake Champlain. The lake weather station is reading 10-15MPH winds.

Not too bad though. Light dusting of powder on the trail. I had first tracks for over half the ride, and then another set of tracks (knobbies) came onto the trail. I've met the guy before. He's another winter regular. Didn't see him this morning though. Just assumed it's the same guy.

Oh and I saw a skunk! I said to myself, "Uh oh", and slowed down and let it get a few yards away before I passed it.
