our basement is dry!
i rode mtb through local area after hurricaine with significant river rise (Maurice river- Cumberland co, NJ) before dam break up-stream (actually walked bike through 4 ft surging h2o). at 1/2 way through that walk/ride, it seemed to be safer to go forward than retreat (the bike was floating in current). i completed "ride" and met other locals. that was Sunday, pm. by Monday, the fire department were evacuating area, police guarding cross roads and stopped my access. today i broke out my LHT and was again denighed access to same roads i swam (rode) on Sunday by the national guard. spin/swim safe!
