Fiery Smoky Hot Why am I Riding RR?

2020-08-19 Fire Ride

Must be August. Fires are ravaging the state.  A huge high pressure area keeps the smoke inverted. Fires in Santa Cruz mountains, Big Sur forest, everywhere. Last I heard, 300+ fires raging. So far we're safe.

Salinas riparian, westbound on 41.


Headed to Morro Bay.


Hard to breathe.


Morro Rock. A nice 74F.


Does horsepower decrease with smoke ingested O2? Inquiring minds want to know!


Turri Canyon.


Headed into San Luis Obispo, Foothill.


Avila Beach was the nice spot today. Cool, not much fire smoke.


In 1/2 mile, temps rose from 72 to 102F. Crazy. I blame Brett Cross!


Needed to get back early for dishwasher install. So here I type, 5:45pm, no dishwasher.


Close to home.


KrZy8 running great! Need to look at maintenance work. Then again, I'll be working soon.. so maybe not until next year.


Stay Safe, Covid, Fires, Stupid Cage Drivers...

Be safe Don, I have rode thru some nasty smoke on the dry side up here. Respiratory system didn't like it at all!

Thought I saw a hint of a shadow in a couple of those shots so your air must be clearer than what I'm seeing.  The sun was a dim orange today that you could stare straight at as though you were wearing a pair of eclipse glasses.  I-80 between Fairfield and Vallejo was closed today, both directions!  Don't think I've ever seen that before.

At least we've all already got face masks!    Be careful, everybody.
