The temperatures are above freezing on a daily basis. I still ride more than most on a daily basis. So it is really killing me that the first 15 miles of any ride are a miserable bleary eyed and heavily congested reaction to the already bad allergy season.

I can claim one day I rode more than a hundred miles. The cumulative exposure to Winter conditions has taken its toll on the commuter so I have not gone on the longer rides I would have.
