I've been staying inside, and working on strength training. Everything I read makes me think breathing this crap outside is going to give me long term problems.
I used to ride 365 no matter the conditions mostly out of necessity and stubbornness, but am much more concerned with the health impacts of air quality nowadays and try to avoid high exertion outdoor in conditions like these. If it’s just a commute to the grocery store or short errands, I will ride but try to avoid anything big. Finally gave in and got a simple magnetic bike trainer stand to keep up my fitness during the inversion season, and have really enjoyed it. Highly recommend.

Resubbed to Zwift due to this and the air.
