I'm going to have to pass on riding there with you tomorrow.

25pc contained now, and no further advance into Whiting or, crucially, north of Santiago Canyon.
Edison has something to explain very soon: with winds that strong, why was there no power shutoff in the canyon on Monday morning. If you dont shut it off then, when will they?

Here's your fun fact: Prior to 2018, the largest fire in CA history was... wait for it... The Santiago Canyon Fire of 1889. It's like there's a history there or something!

Anyone have any idea if the air quality is better up on Ortega highway/southern Santa Ana’s than down in the lower elevations of OC?
sir crashalot
iMTB Rockstah
Yes I know, that one is not extremely accurate, purple air gives most of oc over 100 looks a little better by Ortega highway but there is only one sensor up high which says better AQI but might be a glitch. If it’s the same up there I’d rather not drive from laguna, just wondering if anyone was maybe up there yesterday for real world observations. I know, long shot

Why don't you just go up there and ride and then you could tell all of us your real world observations on how good or bad the air quality is??

I'm in Huntington beach and its bright blue sky's here. I rode El Moro yesterday and it was the same there. No smoke or smell, etc.

Yeah, I’m staying local, I think it’s ok. At totw now and it’s a bit hazy but looks bout the same everywhere. No more smoke plumes!

If you cant smell smoke where you plan to start your ride, then go ride.
