The air is just miserable here in Novato with an AQI of 155. Yesterday we were getting blowing smoke that made it seem like something was on fire just down the street, but it was the wind from Point Reyes.
I can't emphasize enough that you guys can't be out in this. I've seen several reports around the onlines of people trying to ride or run and this is just not a good plan, we all need to be inside with windows closed as much as possible.
