Haven’t see these AQI numbers in months. 🙏 #cleanair #nosmoke

No Yogi, nothing to eat here. #markleevillebears

Our weather station and AQI are back in action! For the current weather and air quality readings here in Markleeville click here: https://californiaalpscycling.bike/weather-conditions/.

New, updated uses TBD post-Fire. 😉 #tamarackfire

A bit smoky at the lake today. #dixiefire I guess. The #tamarackfire caused a bit of smoke in Markleeville this am but don’t think this smoke is from that fire. #toomanyfires

Our AAH sign got a bit roasted during the #tamarackfire

What the what? This sand is tough to ride in/on. Makes me sweat.

One of the benefits of being the lantern rouge – good photos like this. Shyanne, Kona, Java, Chris and Sam ahead of me in the meadow just to the west of Tamarack Peak.
