Two words: sun and shine.
When Cliff Mass says those magic words this time of year, well … a guy has gotta believe.

I had the camera canted too low — the shot should have included the top of the windscreen. I really need to get it out from behind the windscreen altogether; I think the cruise around Lake Roesiger earlier in this same trip would have produced some good footage, but there was still rime on the screen that occluded the shot. Even after it thawed out, the screen introduced too much distortion. And there is no way I am going to stop and wash the screen every five minutes when I am riding through a bug hatch.
