I wonder if anyone else has noticed this phenomenon.
Even though the Nor'easter didn't end until after at least about 8:00 PM last night, the city streets I ride were dry enough by about 5:30 this AM that I was comfortable riding my pristine road bike. I thought maybe the sand would have been washed off the Jamaica Pond Bike Path by all the rain, but there still was a lot. I did encounter a stretch of wet road about a few hundred yards long in Norwood that had me ride near the center of the road. Various car drivers reported that there was flooding south of Norwood.
Hope you get better well soon and glad to hear cycling is therapeutic. The only thing that keeps me off the bike for more than two consecutive days is illness.
