Rode a 400 mile ride for the first ride of the season.
I rode to Cincy Oh to get a computer and to see the flooding of the Ohio River. The highest in 20 years.
Bike rode with no problems.
Here are some pics of the river from Cincy Oh.

Holy cow ! Great pictures, We are in a Nor Easter now here in New England , our rivers are also already at crest here ..Dang wind is about 60 ,mph Waves are gonna get 30 ft, ...Watching my 80 ft Oak trees swaying in my yard :shock:
 
That's a decent cruise for February - and great photos!

Remind me to never live near a river again. I once lived quite close to the Brazos river in Texas. Although I never got flooded, that thing always made me nervous.
