Air Quality Guidelines
Here we are again with wildfire season flaring up in nearby Sturgeon County. Though I don’t expect the smoke from that fire to affect us, the situation can change quickly.
When the AQHI as published by Environment Canada is >= 8, club rides will be CANCELLED. When the forecast is 7, we might ride, but it will be cut short and the intensity reduced to minimize our exposure to poor air quality. Of course, use your own discretion when looking at the AQHI forecasts, because poor quality affects us all a bit differently. See the latest hourly forecast here: https://weather.gc.ca/airquality/pages/nextHourlies/abaq-001_e.html
Our website has an Announcement Bar feature at the top that will light up when we post a ride status update, whether that’s going to be an AQHI or rain cancellation.
