runny nose

On "polite snot rockets:"

The other day I was commuting home from work, taking the long route, which includes a 10 km stretch without a stop pretty much. I was passed by a "mature" (nearing 50, I think) roadie. Soon after passing me he made it clear that he was happy to have me drafting off his wheel, so I hung on. I noticed that he had to empty his nostrils a number of times, but he did it extremely politely, I don't know exactly how he did this but basically there was nothing flying in my direction, but he seemed to spare his bike, too. I was trying to crack his secret when he took a left turn (I was going straight) and said goodbye. What a gentleman.

Any clues?

I have to admit I'm pretty good at it. People want to 'shoot' behind them. The secret is to shoot straight down and to the side just enough to miss your leg.

This will come up again in late October or November. I'm psychic. I know this.

I think I need to hire you as a trainer. I tried that on my ride home and was very unsuccessful, to say the least....

Excellent tip!
I have to say that being able to shoot snot and spit effectively has been, well, a lifelong dream.

For me it's a dream. I try to make my spit shot down and out or ride behind everyone, in fear of hear someone say "caught the mist of that one" lol
