I think my season is over...
I usually ride the St. Croix River -- after 4-10 inches of rain last week it went above flood stage. All of the boat launches are now closed and the entire 26' mile stretch of river has been declared no-wake. Bah!
I'm sitting here at my desk overlooking the Mississippi and the water has gone up a foot in the last 12 hours. It's now 9 feet above where it was in August. The marina across the river from me has water up to their buildings and the boats in dry-storage cradles have water licking at their running gear. I think it's supposed to go up another 3-4 feet before Sunday.
The water temp has been holding pretty steady at 55-58F (right at my limit without a wetsuit.) I think this will be the first time in 10 years that I haven't ridden in October. Bah!!
