Right now the river water levels are high with record snowfall packs melting from the Rockies and flowing into the river in our area. So excuses..is the pleasant routes I want to take get blocked off, with some squirrely detours.

A hassle for a work commute. This will go on for next few wks. Some of my fitness rides following such routes since other areas of city are not as pleasant for cycling.

After living 'n cycling in Vancouver, I find I was more accustomed riding in drizzling/moderate rain here than I realized.

But lightning and thunder, no.

And have become accustomed to being happy cycling in very cold temp. as long as there is no ice/snow. Meaning -20 degrees C.
