Acquired a New Skill

I may get to practice today. It is 48 degrees right now- BRRRR! I hate cold.

If it makes anybody feel better, I'm a terrible spitter.

You should all experience being on the back of a tandem when your captain does this :D .

That said, I too, have perfected snot rockets - much to my mother's chagrin.

It was 35 degrees at the start of the ride. When it is cold, my nose becomes a veritable gusher, much more so than anybody I ride with.

I learned how to blow snot-rockets. :D

Congrats on becoming a snot-rocketteer! :D

Yesterday was my first really cool weather ride. My nose just ran and ran. I got so sick of clearing each nostril that I did the no handed rocket! To my surprise it actually worked, well 2 out of 3 did. :rolleyes: Saturday on the beginner club ride I was riding next to someone just chatting away. I had to spit out the nasal drainage so turned my head and let fly. I almost hit the person behind me. Hey, the last time I checked he was 50 yards back. Anyhow I apologized and he laughed and said no problem. In any other situation the guy probably would have be grossed out. Ain't cycling great!?

Kudos to you on your first official snot rocket launch! It's very liberating, after the first one or two, you just let 'em rip (not in mixed company of course!)

Last week I had my sunglasses hanging around my neck and let one go inadvertently hitting my sunglasses.........:rolleyes: That stuff hardened on there like super glue! Finally got it all cleaned off.....note to self, put sunglasses on before launching snot rocket.

That's one I really want to remember! Imagine not realizing and putting them on.
