Snot

[RoadRaven]

Thank you Snappy!!!!

Muffin the Mule... I knew what I was doing had an offical title!

My snot rockets are usually successful (though rather pathetic if they were compared to some I have seen in terms of projectile siaze and trajectory )

...but... sometimes the snorking park of launching goes wrong and I do the honk-snort thing... so now I will be able to rest easy when my snorkability is compromised because I will know the sound has a meaningful and appropriate name!

(There must be doctral research in these snot rocket threads... surely???)

RR, I do believe the official description is known as "doing a Muffin".

I think there was a thread about this last winter too..

For really long cold workouts- Atrovent nasal spray works great (you do need a prescription).

Happy winter everyone.

Ahhh... now I can rest at ease and no longer stress about I need to explain myself
Cheers

I'm another snot rocket impaired person. I just keep sucking it in until I start to feel like I'm drowning, then I stop for a blow. I live for the handy tissue. Carry them by the pack and use until full and dripping. I can judge the temp by the number of tissues it takes to get to work.

Wearing my big gloves makes nose blowing a real challenge but if there's a will there's a way. Sadly I've gotten it down to a science. And while it can be a bit messy it can be done. Anyway, it beats drowned in your own snot. bikerHen

I simply must wonder how often those rocket-impaired souls actually practice I can usually do that but I'd imagine it requires a certain consistency in the rocketing fluid as well as an appropriately sized nostril. I'm a left- nostril person so it's not so good if the wind doesn't cooperate.

Snot rockets are gross. I use a kleenex, lots of them actually. Maybe I'm just not a real cyclist... I even find the title of this thread gross.

This snot rocketeer (hey, I like that title ) can't imagine how you manage to use kleenexes while on a bike! They're paper tissues, right? I can imagine myself pawing for one out of a pocket (?), and having them rip to shreds before I even get them out. Even then I'd probably miss and snork all over my glove instead... Maybe in summer, with shortie gloves, but for me snot is mainly a winter problem.
