Went out for short ride on Saturday and for the first time I had to negotiate a flooded section of road on my trike. Somewhat disconcerting but fortunately the water depth wasn't an issue and I came out unscathed. However I don't think I will be venturing out for some time given that the rain hasn't really eased of at all since Saturday and the amount of standing water everywhere is now concerning whilst driving.

On a tour a while back, I found out that a Streetmachine with suitably packed Ortlieb panniers is actually buoyant. Not stable, mind, but it does float. Chalk this one down to "just because they came from that direction on a horse does not make it traversable on a 'bent."
