Riding Sunday
Michael Herzen
Weather: they say the smoke should be much less as wind direction will shift to southerly. Otherwise, cool and sunny. Should be reasonable for riding, even without a mask.
When: 9:50am, for 10 am on-time roll-out.
Where: Sand Hill & Lawler Ranch Rds
Route: tbd
Don’t forget (as I did last time!) to bring your mask for coffee/socializing (at a distance)
Don’t know what to say about the CZU Lightning Complex Fire, except that I heard today that the number of personnel fighting the fire increased some 2000, bringing the total to 2108. I wasn’t sure I heard that right, so replayed it, twice. Yes, that means that, before today, the grand total fighting this fire, of 83000 acres, was 108. Any further explanations for why this is still burning seem unnecessary.
And, while the fire captain announced orally that the fire was 27% contained, the crawler below him read 47%. Go figure. What I figure: it wont be over anytime soon.

I’ll probably be there, AQMD pending. If the numbers are too high I’ll let you know, otherwise I’ll see you at the rendezvous point.

7:30am and all is NOT well. Cannot see across the bay, due to smoke. BAAQMD reports unhealthy air.
Regret to say: I am suggesting a cancel for this morning’s ride.
Pls let me know your thoughts.

My phone weather shows AQ just over 50. Not sure if it is measuring just around MP. I’m inclined to go with mask of course.

Confirmed, we’ll try again next week.

Tom –
Thanks for the update. Envious. I think. The level of increased health risk thru biking in this smoke is unclear to me – it may very well be negligible. Just don’t know.
