Get tested. They screen routinely for about 90 most common environmental allergens and perhaps extended panels are available. They will have California allergens there. It is manageable but you must start calming the over reactive immunity soon or it gets out of control.

I'm really not a summer person, don't like the heat, and get irritable when summer discomforts (allergies, etc.) clamp down during what is usually a respite time of year. Although I didn't always cope well with 300 days of rain in Juneau, either, somewhere out there is a dry, cold place where I'd be quite content. Coastal California does have a lot of things going for it, though, even if the weather is cloyingly perfect.<br /><br />But this dry spell is quite bad. If this is the start of a real drought, things will get bad here, fast. <br /><br />Karen — I used to ride my Pugsley on the beach frequently in Juneau. Sand is the same as mud, you have to wash it off. I had to hose down my bike after almost every ride I did there; even road rides were a spray of grit. I wish I could figure out what causes my allergic reactions. It does seem to be an indoor allergen rather than an outdoor one. Mold or dust are possibilities.

I maintain that I'm allergic to California in general. I've noticed that when I'm in higher mileage weeks, my allergies are worse just because of the increase in time spent outside with the things I'm allergic to.<br /><br />I just wanted to say that I was doing some soft sand dunes running yesterday and spent most of my run following someone's fat bike track and thought of you. But the biggest question I had was: how does one remove the sand from their gears and brakes? It sure doesn't melt out like snow does.

Northern Minnesota seems to be the place for cold air. I hear it was -35 out on the trail last night during the Arrowhead. Here in Duluth I've lost count of how many days I've commuted to work by bike with temps in the high minus teens and -20's. Minus 10 feels downright warm these days.

It will be that bad. <br />I have a cousin in Esther, AK just outside of Fairbanks and he also has a Fatbike. They can ride out their door , take two rights, and head out for all day rides in the bush on multiple routes. Granted it gets a bit nippy for me but with the right gear (45nrth) it's doable and quite fun. <br />The summer, however, really sucks! Too buggy, among other things so when school ends, they head off to Europe to bum around fir 10 weeks. <br />Enjoy all the weather variations, but really, you guys should just move there. z-manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09572343329703287829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1582475590281175032014-01-28T01:36:01.589-07:002014-01-28T01:36:01.589-07:00Well i hope there's snow left here in Alaska b...Well i hope there's snow left here in Alaska by the time you get up here!
