I saw tracks from 3 other riders, passed another on a single speed, and two joggers. I'm hoping that we get more rather than less, I love riding in fresh, powdery snow. Tomorrow morning is supposed to bring freezing rain. On top of the re-freeze, that may be treacherous without studs. Can't wait for the ride home.
