As we reported earlier, the organizing committee for the BPMS150, Houston – Austin bike tour wisely made the decision to “cancel” day 1 of the 2 day event, due to excessive rain, flooding, and generally nasty weather.
More than 10 inches of rain fell on Friday, accompanied by winds gusting in excess of 60 mph. On Saturday, more of the same hit the area. 6-8 inches of rain hit much of Day 1’s route, flooding the minor side streets like the state highways or Farm Market roads normally ridden by the bike riders. Many of the rest areas were under water or were too muddy to be used.
