I started from the Power Road TH early at 6am in the dark and did a loop counter clockwise. I just wanted to get some mileage in quick before getting ready for Xmas Eve and this fits the bill nicely being so close to home. Getting the early start in the dark reduced the amount of overall traffic for a while, especially bikers. Although I did see one biker farther ahead of me with a headlamp.

The fog made for some nice pictures. It seemed to clear up a little after a couple of hours and then a second wave seemed to roll in. I was expecting to have sunny skies but the entire time it was overcast and foggy. The last couple of miles the amount of foot traffic increased. It was chilly at the start but remained cool the entire time. Higher up there were some breezes.
