Funny how these mornings in the low 30s feel much colder in April than they did back in January. We've had a couple weeks of milder temperatures, so the 30s this week have been like a slap in the face. Over the weekend, I was riding at the coast with morning lows in the mid-50s and afternoon highs in the upper 70s. Guess I got spoiled.

However, the pollen is bothering me more right now than the cold. I've had a sore throat almost continuously for the past 3 weeks from the pollen. It went away last week while at the coast, but returned as soon as I got back to the Raleigh area. Everything is coated in yellow dust here.
