I’ll say. I met a friend who also happened to be riding one of the trails today and was evacuated from her home town of Drayton Valley, AB, which was just one of the areas that were put on notice. She told me her home might be far enough from being in danger but was still stressed out over packing up and leaving town. As we all know the winds are so unpredictable and can shift in a blink of an eye. She was staying with a friend here in town while she has to wait another week before she can get the green light to return home.So sad to see AB burning though...

Brutal.
I was taking a ferry back this morning from doing a gig in Gibsons/Roberts Creek last night. Lovely day, a bit windy, but there was some smoke/haze to be seen. Nothing as bad as in the past (yet) but this is early, and here we go...

According to the site, the forecast is looking more like no ride for me tomorrow as the entire area will be enveloped in smoke by 7am.

As expected, it was hazy here for the entire day though air quality is expected to improve by tomorrow.

Topping up on @Prairie Dog and his pics of the smoke, I was golfing east of Calgary yesterday and it was as if we were extras on a new Blade Runner movie.
Definitely not riding conditions and I wonder about golfing too.
I saw this one and had a laugh.
Export A is (was?) an iconic Canadian cigarette renowned for it's "robust" nature.

Yep, todays AQHI is off the chart. Not a good day to be out but the gardens need to be watered.

eBikes are like dogs, they look happiest outdoors.

With most of the smoke from the wildfires absent for now, I got in another epic ride on the trails today. Air quality index was still rated as low to moderate and you could still see a bit of haze in the sky. We actually received a nice (albeit brief) soak after I returned home which was much needed as conditions are super dry.

Early afternoon, the trees are pretty thick in this section! We have established quite a few trails that only we ride in our area using old logging trails and game trails. They are on timberland that will sooner or later get clearcut. In fact in this area they recently went through the actual road network and improved upon them by cutting back the sides and installing new rock base so that might be sooner than later.....The forest is also good for collecting mushrooms in the fall.

Some action from yesterday afternoon’s ride. Temp was an ideal 26C and with ground conditions so dry and grippy, there was no way I was going to miss out. No slop, no dust just pure traction. I topped up the reservoir in my pack and headed out for a triple header. Lucky that I ate my shreddies before I left.
