Hawes on Benadryl

Man I sure have gotten my trash kicked this week, I have been having aggressive pollen allergies recently. Massive congestion, swollen burning eyes, just annoying! Not to mention it's so hot out, but I refuse to miss rides because of it even if it means riding on benadryl. I heard reports of catepillars everywhere and Hawes was pretty quiet until I got up high and started finding them littered among the trail. I was focused on not crunching them and was pretty successful. Great ride, still very humid after the rain.
