In the meantime, my first ride in a couple days but avoiding the ponds that are newly formed since the massive 3rd wave drenching last night.
Thanks dude - we're all safe and sound, not affected by the flooding at our place. Having said that, I'm pretty close to the flooded out spots and the Sumas prairie is one of my absolute favorite places to ride during the summer. I've been known to ride out to Yarrow with the wind thinking "I can ride forever today!" only to realize that it's a windy day and I gotta slog all the way back home into a strong headwind.
Really hope those farms out there are able to recover after this.
