I wake up, and it is snowing. It has been snowing all night.

The guy at the truck stop reckons I should wait a day - but the likelihood is that it will be snowing tomorrow too, only more so. And the room at the truck stop has a resident rat or two - I don't feel like staying.

I go.

There is another pass today, but a gentler one.

New technique for dealing with head-winds: ride backwards.
