Route: Indian Head Rail Trail, riding east from Livingston Rd parking lot to White Plains trailhead for a short rest stop. then retracing west back to the ride start.
Weather: temp range 34-40 degrees; 3-5 mph WNW air; mostly cloudy with one a few attempts by the sun to break through. Felt colder on the return even though the temperature rose to 40 by ride end.
AMS: swept in the low 10s; others much faster
Mechanicals/Mishaps: none
Report: for most of the ride on the trail, our hardy band of winter cyclists were the only users. Towards White Plains, we saw an occasional walker or jogger, probably less than 10 other users and NO cyclists.
Inbound, an eagle was on the nest near the parking lo and a flock of "blackbirds" was also present. A couple of deer bounding across the trail on the down slope towards Bensville was the only other wildlife sighting.
