Anyone else have a runny nose and basically the most savage allergies even though you don't have allergies?

Now I understand allergies. Runny nose, sore throat, hack hack cough.

The city smells like a day-old campfire.

Is the air a bit cleaner in the forest from being filtered by the trees or is it dangerous to be out riding today?

Last night it smelled like a campsite. The haze in the west was quite strong.

I hope the fire fighters stay safe.

Air Quality Index is down to 4-5, still Moderate Health Risk. Is the Air Quality likely to be significantly better at elevation (top of Seymour)?

This morning was the first time in 3 months riding over the north end of the lion's gate bridge was palatable.

Just saw a report on the Sechelt fire. They said it was started by target shooting. What a bunch of douches. On top of that one of the crew was killed felling trees on the front line. There ought to be charges laid …

On the positive side (re: poor air conditions), getting some quality gold mining done. :shhh:
