When the pollen hits here, I have to dose up on Chlor-Tripolon before I ride out. I've never had to put a mask on but I have seen other people do that, and I've had to stop to clean my glasses... luckily we don't have a long pollen blast, usually just a few days. It's the smoke/dust in late summer that nearly killed me one year. Stupid lungs.
