However, much of the time I'll just grab my espresso and ride right to the office with no real cool down. I'm dry within a few minutes of chilling at my desk.
I will admit that I've done this from time to time as well, but I don't quite trust my own ability to judge my smell. (I will never do this unless I've showered immediately before riding, of course!)
I find the rest of the day (in an office) much more comfortable if I've wiped & dried & changed.
