Rains dredge up mud and a bike

Flooding has blocked the Guadalupe River Trail at Hwy 237.

I managed to make it to Alviso this morning following the San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail. The underpasses were muddy, but passable.

Saratoga Creek is really gushing, more than San Tomas Aquino.

It was a different story on the Guadalupe River Trail, flooded at the Hwy 237 underpass. No doubt other low-lying underpasses are also flooded.

I found a Marin mountain bike, minus its wheels, propped up on the levee near Gold Street. Stolen and abandoned? It was purchased from The Bike Connection, Palo Alto.

It will be a while before I try riding in the Santa Cruz Mountains. They’re a soggy mess.

Anybody need a bike? Cost about $650 when new around 2000.
