I had planned to ride to work every day this week but the poor air quality got the best of me. Yesterday was a Code Orange day, and the high ozone finally took its toll on me. I had really bad sinus headaches during the night and slept poorly, and I suspect it was due to riding in the high ozone yesterday. So I took the day off riding today. I had ridden 6 days straight, so my legs are due for a rest anyway.

I will be so glad when this summer is finally over. The heat, drought and poor air quality are just wearing me down. I can handle the cool weather -- just put on my clothes.
