Nice day....

East Lake Trail, couple of inches of water....

More water....

Like I said, 2-3" of water....

Flotsam....

The bridge....

Trail fell away....

Sand everywhere....

Some of it pretty deep....

Saw Super and Scottie Gall out on top of the dike. Were y'all havin' fun? :) The entire trail through the East Lake area and Wyth is ridable except for a section just west of the campground. It's under water that appeared deeper than I wanted to try to ride. You have to take the road to the other end of the park and get back on the trail. It looks like all of the dirt trails along the river are still under water.

Ride safe.

Peace out, yo!

High water....

North Hackett is closed....
The bike path is covered with snow and ice where it's shaded....

Water over the road....

1 x 1 rollin'....

Krieg's Crossing....

The Cedar is mean today....

The trail under Waterloo Road....

Washington Park golf course is a water hazard....

Flood gates are closed....

Downtown Cedar Falls....

Light rain....

I went out on the 1 x 1 to check the flooding this morning. The river is about a half mile north of us here and we are so far above it that I don't think we'll ever flood, but it's a different story just a couple blocks north. Lots of water and it's still rising. I don't think anyone expects anything like the floods of '08 this year, but it's flooded just the same.... Hopefully it won't get much worse.

Carl sent an email while I was drinking my coffee this morning saying that FedEx had called telling him he had a big box from Verge. Woohoo! The new VeloSyndikat team kits are here! That didn't take long! I rode with him and the Queen of Cross out to the FedEx facility on Airline Highway to pick them up. Sweet!

He brought me back to my house and opened the carton in the drive and pulled out my mid-weight jacket, since I was heading out for a ride on the Surly. Nice quality, nice fit, and good looking!

I rode down by the river then back up Grand before heading over to The Shop. Met Chris and Brent there and Scott walked in a couple of minutes later. Mike Johnson stopped in on his way out for his 5 hour training ride. It was good to get out and about today!

Time to run up to Jackal's for a minute. Have a great weekend!

Ride safe.

Peace out, yo!

Next week....

I think I'll probably start posting here again in a week or so. Just sayin'

Ride safe.

Peace out, yo!
