If you look back a little over a year ago, you'll find the thread where I announced my new found talent for snot rocketry. I am now a master (Mistress?).
However, I ride with a bandana tied around my left wrist year round. In the summer it's for sweat, winter snot. I still use the rockets though.

My nose runs and runs regardless of how hot or cold it is outside. I've mastered the rocket to the point of being able to launch without having to pinch a nostril shut. Two for the price of one!

I can't do a snot rocket to save my life. It just ends up on my lips and chin no matter how hard I blow. Ew! I sooooo wish I could. I do find that taking a claritan before going out for a ride helps cut down on the snot factor besides keeping my sinuses open.

another vote for the snot rocket and also making sure there is no one too close behind you.
On last Sunday's ride I let one loose to the left just as I was overtaken by another ride. He was the first other rider we had seen all day and I had no idea that he was there! It's the first time I wish I had heard "on your left!"

Earlier this year I had a string of ear and sinus infections and my doctor prescribed snot rockets (she is a cyclist too). Apparently all the sniffling caused that stuff to build up in my head and cause problems. So now its always snot rockets for me...doctors orders

Wow this thread is cracking me up! Just coming in on this and reading all these comments about snot is sooooo funny!
I was born with a box of kleenex in both hands! Now I just use my glove! Sometimes snot rockets (feel like I am in Jr high saying that). I have a kleenex under the left band of my shorts and a bandana in my camel back (which I wear on every ride) so I am fully covered. When I haven't been. yes I have used my jersey! Or my dh's. We have been together for 20 years! jk by the way....
Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

I can't snot rocket to save my soul. DH is a champion at the art of snot rocketing. In the winter I also make sure I am at least 4 bike lengths behind him! For me it's my glove or one of the many hankys that I own. Soft and cottony. I do love the idea of a bandanna wrapped around your wrist. I'll have to try that on my next cold weather ride!
