Wow, it seems like we put out one fire and two more pop up. We were getting a lot of smoke yesterday evening from the Wolf Creek pass fires. On MSN.COM, today's weather forecast for Colorado Springs is smoke.

I have never seen that forecast or that symbol used. Looks like no ride today.

Only to be replaced by about 10 more lightning-caused fires.

The smoke from the fires irritated my sinuses and caused sinus congestion........which I'm still dealing with.

Last night I had a cyclist in who I am pretty sure had a near hit by lightening.

Currently second in the Tour Divide. The guy who found him said all he was saying is he had to get to Como.
