@ascentale @bobjonkman @bikenite A7. #BikeNite @bikenite With the youth MTB team we've made all sorts of adjustments to practices due to nearby wildfires. We've had to cancel sometimes, but other times we'll ride in a different direction to avoid the smoke, like we'll avoid going down into this canyon area where the smoke settles overnight. We're fortunate to have enough air quality sensors nearby. During high fire danger windy days we'll also avoid going into more remote areas or areas where it would be too easy to get trapped.
Regular rides during our dry season kicks up a lot of dust, especially when riding in groups. I definitely feel that in my lungs afterward. Kind of makes you wonder how bad it is for you. I've worn a neck gaiter over my face during a race because I knew that the start would be dusty.
