Take it easy Pat. Remember a good old fashioned 46/11 triple pointed 180 degrees away from any smoke is mostly a great idea.

Re:
Thanks for your thoughts, THM-it looks like my brother's house is going to be spared, but they are still keeping his neighborhood evacuated for now. He's hoping to go home soon, and, since his home phone answering machine is still picking up, he knows the house is still there.
I was planning to go out on the bike this afternoon, but last night a new fire started South of me in the hills above Sausalito ( about 12 miles from here near the Golden Gate Bridge) and the air is getting smoky again...

Re:
Today-Thursday-A change in the weather-we have a storm front coming in this afternoon and evening to bring some showers to our area. It will definitely help with the wildfires up North of here. Cool out, about 65 F. and partly sunny, a steep ride up to the OG trail above town...

Re:
Today-Friday- It rained about 1/3 of an inch last night, which made the firefighters happy, and made the fire roads and trails tacky/grippy, instead of dusty
-We rode up onto Tam a ways past Phoenix Lake, and especially enjoyed riding the red carpet on the fire road under the Redwoods...

Re:
Today-Saturday- A ride up Iron Springs road to Tamarancho-But-They are redoing the road near the top now, and we got turned back 95% of the way to the top. We went back down a private road that was so steep and long that I know I'll never try to go up it.
Nice out, about 70 F. this afternoon, with an Indian Summer warm up coming Monday...

Re:
Today-Thursday-Wow, after 4 days off the bike it felt really good to get out today. We are still experiencing Indian Summer, yesterday it was 90 F. and today 88 F. A ride up the steepest road in Fairfax, Mountain View road, about 800' up, then a sweaty descent back home. A pic of town from above...

Re:
Today-Friday-Really warm for this time of the year still. 88 F. and sunny today. Iron Springs road, one of my go to climbs up to the Scout Camp, was regraded and covered with a Macadam surface in the last 10 days, and it is smoother and nicer than I've ever seen it before. Sadly, last Monday the Camp Ranger was working on the road with a small tractor and it went over the edge, tumbled about 75 feet, and killed him in the tumble down the bank. I rode up today to get in the climb and also check out where it happened...

nowt amazing today, had half a day off work so went to vueltasport near me, did some trail maintaining, added a new bridge over a natural rain channel, which is deceptively deep and harsh and did a few steady miles in the sun.
