The forecast was calling for severe thunderstorms this morning, so I figured I would be driving today. However, when I got up, there were no storms showing up on the radar, so I headed to work on my bike. The pollen is so thick right now in NC that it looks like snow in my headlight. About halfway to work, I started feeling light sprinkles and it started raining hard right as I was approaching my office. Normally I take a lap around the building to round up the trip to 10 miles, but I headed right to the door today. Unfortunately, in my effort to get going quickly this morning, I forgot my door pass, so had to ride around the building to another entrance that doesn't need a pass. So I ended up getting a little wet but not soaked. I had to carry my bike into my office to avoid tracking pollen on the carpets. Seriously.
