Got the Team Fuji 52 cm frame on ebay, which will be my daughter's bike project for our summer break. And another photo from San Antonio below. Last weekend we loaded the bikes at my buddy's house and kind of went on a morbid curiosity run after the previous day's monsoon rain (it was about 10 inches downtown). We tried the Leon Creek trail, but came to an impassable ford after 2 miles. So we loaded up again and drove to the near northside - Lincoln Heights - to take Broadway into downtown. We were flying at 22 mph the whole way down Broadway. Had a really good iced Thai coffee and almond croissant at Halcyon in Blue Star. Took the Mission trail south to see how far we could go. It was strange riding the trail along the San Antonio River and seeing the river low and clear especially after seeing Leon Creek. Then we came to the outlet of the flood tunnel, and the end of the line.

It was full Sunday, and backed up over elevated US-281. They route the floodwater through a tunnel and release it here, south of downtown. Snaked our way west and north to get back home with no worries.
