After five days of “dusting” snows, I figured that the Eastman X-C trails were finally worth a return visit. I got started from home by 1015 and was on the course by 1100. The last time I was there, the groomed trails were covered in ice - today, the powdery coating was perfect for practice! There was a stiff wind and the temps were in the (very) low double digits but this resulted in keeping the crowds away. Of course, maybe everyone else was sane and I was the crazy one... Put in about an hour on the trails near the clubhouse and started to feel like I was getting the hang of things. Headed for home just after noon. Hoping I can get back again before I get too many cobwebs!
