Winter is a season of recovery and preparation.

Maine is a joy in the summer. But the soul of Maine is more apparent in the winter.

Maine out of season is unmistakably a great destination: hospitable, good-humored, plenty of elbow room, short days, dark nights of crackling ice crystals.

Winter is not a season, it's an occupation.

Winter is my favourite season.

But I plan on dedicating specific training to track this winter for the next racing season.
