 Seems like this is becoming an annual event.  Smoke from wildfires either from our western states or our Canadian neighbors are creating havoc on my biking routine. And, I don't like it.!!!  Nothing to do but decide on whether to go ahead and ride outside or back in my basement on my trainer.  The older I get the smarter I get.....maybe.  I could use a mask or my neckerchief  to catch the nasty smoke, but a ride with those barriers would be very unpleasant. The basement it was! Had a heat wave where the temp was in the mid 90s.  I rode outside when it was 91 and decided that was enough of that.  Now the smoke.  It seems like my outdoor ride opportunities are getting more limited.  I considered a ride to LeRoy was to happen recently as the wind was 15-20 mph from the NW.  Did not happen.  I'm getting to a point where a 50-55 miler is not doable since my training is inadequate.  Riding a century seems like a small probability. Maybe the second half of this summer is better that the start. Stay tuned
