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.

Oh yeah. Nasty.
I've gotten used to it, and my DH has learned to ride on my left side.
I tried Claritin but the side effects were unpleasant--I'd rather have snot than feel weird.

Yeah, my gloves are getting kinda scummy. I am not talented in the snot rocketry department.

I don't get a runny nose on the trainer even when it's cool in the house (like now!) Only outdoors. Kleenex -- no way, it would tear to bits. But a nice soft bandanna....ahhhhhh! I take them on hikes too. Never heard of hikers blowing snot rockets!

Atrovent nasal spray (you need a prescription for it). I use it when I'm going to be out cross-country skiing for hours in really cold weather. It dries everything up completely. (But I do make do with the snot rocket for shorter excursions or when it's not frigid.)

In cold weather I use a bandana wrapped around my neck to wipe my runny nose. Easier to reach than my pocket.

Does it give you "cotton mouth"? Does it really dry you up? How long does it last? Is there a "rebound" effect? Tell me more...I'd love to find something that works! Originally Posted by anakiwa

Of course, wash your gloves! I usually hang them up to dry in the bathroom so they don't get crinkly and small, but it works perfectly! Originally Posted by SouthernBelle
