I've been skipping on riding here and there with the recent poor air quality, due to wind-blown particulate from wildfires to the north, in Canada. I thought that I might miss the group's Wed night ride, but the winds seem to have swung around, now coming from the south, and the AQI is dropping, so I may get to crush some souls, yet.

The one I have now is a different story. He showed up at my door fully grown and he was hunting to survive. He wanted to be outside all day while we were at work so he left the remnants of his activity on the door mat. He's old now and stays in most of the time.

Speaking of “crushing souls,” my legs are shot. I feel like crap.Tried to ride this morning and my legs are gone. I have a club metric planned for tomorrow and I may have to back out. On the other hand, it’s a slow group…

You crushed your own soul? Drink lots of water and do a little massage, maybe some stretching. If it's a slow group and there are no big hills it'll be ok.

I should be ok because of the slow group except often a faster group bolts over the last 20 miles or so and I know I’ll get sucked in.

I had intended to climb May Canyon this morning but didn't feel up to it. Instead I went to Santa Clarita and spun around the bike path for two hours. Came home and went shopping and there was a male Karen in the store barking at 2 female employees because he didn't think they were giving him enough attention, or that's what I understood from the old geezer (probably my age).
