Well it rained a lot last night. I admired the raging Potapsco as I crossed the bridge from BaltCo. to HoCo (avalon).
River road had some shallow standing water. I started pedaling through it and it got deeper and deeper.
By the time I realized that I was in a flood it was too late to turn around (will never mess wtih standing water again).
The water rose and rose until my entire bike frame became submerged. I'm freaking out obviously.
Some how I stayed upright and made it to the other side... scary (i might have got it on video and will upload tonight).
My feet experienced an epic level of cold during the rest of the super windy 40 degree commute.
Fortunately I had overdressed so the rest of me was hot.
I was really looking forward to my shower at work, I crack my bag open and there is just work shoes, no clothes.
Ugh!
I guess I'm going to have to wear my flooded rain pants and my skinsuit to work today.
Then I checked Pat's unlocked locker, he has a pair of wrinkled jeans in there that seem to be 34w and 30L. I was thankful for them.
Took a shower (no towel).
Got dressed in jeans and a skinsuit. Got up to work and put on my sweater.
Happy to be safe and basically dressed.
