It's fire season again

We're heading to the east coast this week, John, so it's not a big deal right now - just thought I'd get more rides in before we left than conditions have allowed.

Still hoping to find a decent option for an ebike at our second home location, so I can ride there, too!
@PatriciaK Can you just take your bike with you? Or are airports involved?
 
Dirt bikers use knee braces that are also pads. Much better if you are taking chances. The good ones are not cheap.

Yea, I finally gave in and ordered a set of pads in addition to the hinged knee brace needed for my recovery period. ;)

Rain only lasted about 30 minutes - John must have gotten tired ;). It was lovely while it lasted, but AQI is still 154. Supposed to be better tomorrow, I hope I hope!!!

Hey, gotta pace myself! Just enuff rain to wet the pavement, & cool things down. Not a breath of wind here for 2 days, just mist laden
with smoke. Nothing to carry sparks. AQI actually went up a bit, but it´s down 90 from yesterday. I feel like I´m living in some dome out
of the Twilight Zone with a ghostly mist all around. Nee nee nee....nee nee nee😨 I shall attempt my best Zorba dance b4 bedtime.

😭 I failed! Couldn´t see the house across the street this morning! 4 different sites say my AQI is between 134 & 298???
No wind, not a blade of grass moving, pretty much for the last 3 days. Forecast sez 6 mph from SE, (this is not good );
but I´m seeing nothing. This is really eerie; am I still on planet earth?
 
Now at 115 , but very many are still at choking levels, & not far away either. Hard for me to inhale guilt free.
Twist, Charleston, jitterbug, or do the Macarena. Try a little dance & pray for rain....can´t hurt.

( butterfiy effect? )
 
Our AQI is 163 but there are pockets of more smoke like downtown;

We would normally have deep blue skies this time of year...
 
hey we got down to 260 today. man I am glad I have a e bike I can ride without work. with by bad leg I cant put much of any effort into it. but I also need to get my cadence down as every stroke hurts. so I limped home in turbo more justing away because I could not ether push hard enough to spin fast enough. but I kept a 14mph average so not too bad. I get to go to PT Thursday morning too so much fun.
 
First visible sunset in a week. Thunder and lightning passed by late afternoon followed by rain. Hope the lightning didn’t cause problems further East. AIQ down to 57
