If you have a selfie in your old leopard skin outfit, please keep it to yourself!

Fair enough. I'll dig out the one in the ostrich feather outfit instead.

Haze as a result of wildfire smoke has returned but rated only as moderate risk. It was quite visible this morning but otherwise still pleasant enough for a 30km ride.

 

[Surrey Pete]

That's the one!
Totally passable without getting wet now. Where did you get to on the greenway?

Watershed Park to Mud Bay and back. Got my first flat just after going through that damn puddle........

Easy to see why it's called Mud Bay:

In Erie PA at Presque Isle today. Quite beautiful as always and 12 miles of fun.

Mowed the lawn, then grocery shopping, then off for a ride around 12:30pm today on the Delta flats...

This large ship is used for pile driving along the river...



Lookout at Deas Island park...

40 kms at 25C, and guess what time it is?

A place I often take pictures of along a rail trail. I always like the big sky and vast field here.

It’s been a dreadful week with smoke permeating the air pretty much 24/7. Mornings aren’t so bad but the rest of the day is shot to Hell.

I wonder sometimes what police are up to when they randomly park along the side of a relatively deserted country roadside. I have seen drivers speed down this stretch from time to time but I think the cops would have better luck ticketing offenders on a busier thoroughfare. The other roadie heading in the opposite direction might have been thinking the same. I’m sure he had a good reason for stopping.

Shortly before I turned onto this road, I was passed by a younger couple on their e-bikes and we said our good mornings to each other before they sped off ahead. So that’s what that feels like.

Went to a ghost town. Centralia,PA where an underground coal fire has been burning since May 27,1962. The fire cannot be put out and the town was taken by eminent domain. Only 5 residents still live there. A very strange place indeed, and listed as one of the most haunted in the USA. The old streets are still there, but the houses are gone. Notice the smoke in one of the photos hovering over one of the roads.

I have only driven thru Centralia, but years past it was a big bike ride destination. @J.R. and @6zfshdb were there way back when.

Bummer about the smoke. I can't believe how lucky we've been here.
Regarding the ebikers, I blew past a couple of them today, just for fun...

I’ve seen what the conditions are like in northern AB and BC and it’s not pretty so, yeah, I think we are fairing relatively better here.

As for being passed by the e-bikers, I didn’t feel bad considering that we were on analog bikes. Boy, they sure had huge grins on their faces though. I’m not sure if I would have reacted the same had I been riding the Creo.

Good to know that you had a clean ride.

This screenshot I took during a bit on the morning news pretty much says it all:

If you do the math, .01% of the total land area of Canada is on fire! That's already double the acreage burned in an average year and they are on track to exceed it by a factor of three!

I had planned a ride today here in Northeast PA. but local health officials advise against it. I'll wait until Wednesday and try again.

It's a speed trap for bikers. I hope that guy wasn't exceeding the 32KPH limit!

 

[Prairie Dog]

That would be a first for me though I’ve heard of cyclists being fined for speeding in high foot traffic areas such as parks in other major urban centers. This Torontonian was stopped for going 26 kph in a 20.

Sad isn’t it and to think that we potentially still have several months of this to endure. Our AQHI rating is currently 3 on a scale of 10 but expected to be bumped up to 7 by the afternoon. Just enough of a window for morning rides until the winds shift.

Here's hoping that you have better luck midweek.
