In Arizona they let the creeks flow right over the roads in places (since they hardly ever flow). Last Saturday I had to cross several creeks which were flowing as deep as my bottom bracket and had 2-3 inch sinky sand. There were places where the road itself was a river flowing. Nothing like a day such as that to clean the bike up. After 52 miles though I did call it quits. Had the whole ride practically to myself as the creeks kept most cars from drving down the road I wen't down and the other end where I turned around had a raging river 18" - 24" deep and 40' wide flowing across it so the road was basically closed for all intents and purposes. I was passed by 1 car and 2 trucks. The coolest thing was seeing all the waterfalls in the desert. Anyway, Rain is awesome for riding, especially if you like to take a solo ride once in awhile.
