Today was the first time in a long time that I have been able to go for a ride. So I took a little day trip down to the Yakima River to see how this weeks flooding had affected things. This last week warm temperatures and heavy rains caused flooding because of the rapid melting of snowpack below 6,000 feet.
In some places the Yakima River was 13 feet past flood stage down by Woodhouse Road (just before entering the Yakima Canyon) the river had receded but farm fields and roads were still affected by the flood.
Even small creeks were running fast with volumes 3 to 5 times larger than normal.
Today's ride was a short one but with two crushed thoracic vertebrae (caused by the cancer) about 1.5 hours of riding is all I can handle right now.
Tomorrow I go to Seattle for a bunch of tests to see how well the Stem Cell Transplant worked on my cancer. It didn't cure it but I think it knocked it back a bit.
Wow, I didn't know it had flooded that bad, thanks for the pictures. I'm glad to see that you are out riding and enjoying yourself. Good luck on your tests. Hope to see you up in the Colockum this summer!
Wanted to get out for a ride but wasn't able to till later in the afternoon. I decided I would just take a quick jaunt along some local service roads. Definitely wouldn't say it was warm out haha.

I was talking with a buddy of mine about these cool bikes as I've been following them via the TW200 THREAD ON ADVRider.com
In talking...
I’ve talked before about my frustrations on the overall lack of places to ride in SE Texas, especially considering the size of Texas. But it’s almost all private property.
Well I took a trip to central Texas (near Mason) and found a road that reminded why I bought the T-Dub...60+ miles of...
Whenever I try to get a group together for something, my strategy has generally always been to just post it on all the forums and see who bites LOL. Someone usually does, so I guess it works! Anyway, here's just a quick copy-and-paste from other forums:
I'm planning on doing some light/moderate...
We {well Hoot} has been discussing this for a couple of years now...and something, weather, money, lack of interest, has been pushing it back....now Gary L., Mel, and maybe Jersey Jeepster, Montezuma, and Zdiver Paul, are on the plan making kick again...of course if the nitwits in Washington...
