Kit pickup - Vancouver

For anyone who has picked up their uniform in Vancouver, how long did the whole process take? Was the half-hour time slot accurate? I'm scheduling my pickup now and am figuring out how long to take off from work. Thanks!

Also - any rain poncho?

Curly hair - washing advice

My curly hair pattern is not at all resilient to a helmet and is also best on its second or sometimes third day after washing.

But I'm so sweaty after cycling, I'm pretty sure I need to wash my hair. And then I have to style/dry it, which takes an amount of time I resent. This is an actual disincentive for me to cycle as often as I otherwise want to.

I feel like when high cycling season hits, my hair is either terrible because I've washed it and it's flat and frizzy because I don't want to spend the time it takes to dry and style it properly, or it's terrible because I do spend the time and it's freshly done (and not at its best like on second or third day - and then it never hits its great moment or only very briefly because then I go for another ride).

Any advice here from other fragile curlies?

Hi all - long time sufferer but first time poster here so forgive me if this is covered ad nauseum. I did a bit of searching but didn't find what I was looking for.

I know my triggers in general but am curious if others notice seasonal peaks in their outbreaks?

I live in a temperate climate and it has been sunny and warm this past week. As a result, I've been out getting more exercise as spring progresses. I feel that old familiar tingle/burn on my skin near my mouth but as frequently happens for me, I'm not quite sure if it's a cold sore coming or maybe some other skin ailment like eczema or blemish, etc. I am suspicious enough that I took a dose or oral antivirals and put some topical ointment on as well.

But it got me thinking if others have noticed an uptick in outbreaks in the "spring time"?

With the sun, more stress on my body from more cardio, etc. I'm wondering if this could be a season for me to watch more closely.
