Those are some wild conditions. I am glad to save I have never had to ride in flooding that significant. Take care in that much water.
The hill climb is behind the photographer by about a half mile. That's where all the water flowed down from.

7% - 8% grade for 0.82 miles. I'm glad that it's on the way
to work and that I get to cruise down it on the way home.
