got out in the hillsborough area today after sleeping over at staceys last night. wanted to get out and do a quick 45 minute ride just to stay fresh but that changed. originally was going to ride with eric but he fell out due to wind concerns. blah. mike also was a no call due to concern over ice on the road. there was ice, but very little and on the extreme sides of the street.

after getting to hillsborough and making my way to the road that would bring me back to somerville i encountered a closed road due to flood waters! not wanting to ride down 206 i turned around and headed a different way. decided then to stretch out the ride and my 45 minute ride more than doubled! encountered 3 more flood zone areas and rode through about 3-4 inches of water at one point which was a little stupid but did anyway. there was no current but im sure it wasnt good for the bike.

this was one of the windiest rides ive ever done. weather station out in hillsborough has the minimum winds at 6mph and the max at 21mph. max gust was 35mph. felt like every direction i was riding into the wind for about 85% of the ride. was good though. helped me burn off some calories :) ride;
