I once knew a guy who smoked cigarettes well into his seventies. (He's still kicking, BTW, in his eighties now. Don't know whether he still smokes, though). When I asked him why he was doing that, he told me that if not for cigarettes and, perhaps, some other unhealthy things he enjoys, he'd probably ended it all somewhere around his fiftieth birthday. I got a feeling that maybe he wasn't joking...

Well, it appears that the air is clarifying, and also there is an "atmospheric river" heading for the burn area in northern CA and southern OR this weekend.

So you believe that the air quality inside the home or some stuffy gym is better and healthier than being outside ?...Not to mention the boredom and lack of experience on Zwift is enough to make me choose riding outside. I'll take the risk with bad air quality rather than suffer on Zwift.

The fear mongering in this thread is amazing.

And if you find Zwift so boring, don't do it, but, for the Nth time, dude - OTHER PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES FROM YOU. I understand this is a difficult concept for you, but I assure you, it's absolutely true.

Ahh, finally, the smoke clears:
But my head still hurts from Friday's smoky ride (migraine). An easy spin shouldn't hurt that much.

I had a nasty headache, too. I assumed it was COVID and took a test. (It wasn't positive.)
