    Whooohooo for tail winds both ways, glad you are safe and was able to do what you needed to do!

    I commuted to yoga. The sun was finally shining. I took the day off — recovering from our (twin) daughters' graduation on Sunday. After yoga DH & I went fly fishing. It was a splendiferous day!

    In general, had a normal commute, stayed dry as it was mostly cloudy. The morning commute was interesting as all the rivers around here are at or near flood stage. The affect on commuting is that our floating section of the Eastbank Esplanade is near level with the terra-firma section. The ramp in this picture is suppose to be going down back there.



    I should note that in the morning light I did not realize just how much the ramp had risen (it's been somewhat up now for over 2 weeks) and actually rode up this thing

    Oh, and they closed this section until the river drops.

    Nice ride to/from work. My travel is short as it is about 1.25 mi each way.

    I have to laugh though....I ride pretty aggressively on my Trek Pure Lowstep, which is funny because BlueBell is not an aggressive bike by ANY stretch of the imagination. I rode very timidly on my road bike. Go figure. Can't wait to get my BF NWT next month!

    Frustrating this morning. A major portion of my route was unavailable due to flooding. I decided not to ride home and sent my bike home with DH. He forgot it was on top of the car and drove into the garage. Ouch. I haven't seen her yet. He took it to the LBS. I hope she can be repaired soon.

    Sorry about your bike, Blackhills. The father of one of my son's racing teammates did this with the kid's team bike about ten years ago. The poor man was mortified. But, I remember that the insurance paid for the bike (it was totaled).
