    My nose runs so much everytime I exercise in sub-15Celcius weather that if I actually used kleenex my nose would have been rubbed off a while ago. It's just not an option.

    I have to spit and snot rocket a lot. Sometimes it's not possible (very watery) and I will gently sponge off my nose with the terry part of my gloves.

    I usually also swipe a lot of vaseline under my nose if it's a really cold day (around 5 Celcius or less).

    Sorry, it's not elegant, but it's standard in the sport. Running is the same. Coss country skiing is the same.

    I probably lose a good half pint through snot rockets during a long ride!

    Something about riding a bike just has that effect. The real problem is on the trainer. I can never seem to remember to stock some kleenex nearby. Snot rockets not an option indoors.

    LOL on the trainer! That'd be really tacky!

    Even tho' my mother informed me long ago that snot rockets were not lady-like, I guess I'm not a lady! I can't imagine riding and trying to blow my nose in tissues or anything else, for that matter. I'd probably fall over.

    Snot rocketry is a skill I am proud to have acquired. In fact I bragged about it on here the first time I managed it. If you are riding alone, who cares. If you are riding with guys, they don't care. If you are riding with girls, they shouldn't care.
