Super soaker.
I decided to ride the long way to pick up some paperwork for the olds.
The river was much higher than I expected. It was just over the banks behind the house and parts of the path were underwater by up to 10cm. The first underpass was closed but not flooded - just some left over ice. The big underpass was not closed and I could see standing water but assumed if it was open it couldn’t be too bad. I was mistaken. The water was quickly over my tires, then that much again up the spokes. It was hard work pushing through and all of a sudden it was over my high top boots on the pedals and filled the boots. The entire drivetrain was under water.
Luckily it wasn’t cold enough to be a problem. I did skip the north end which is always the last to dry up.
