Ruth -- Watch out but remember, you can give them a taste of their own medicine!! Ironically, I almost nailed a big snot rocket on this really nice looking guy earlier this week. He was behind me, just far enough behind me that I didn't see him before I sent it flying. He was going pretty fast so he was definitely in the strike zone. Luckily, it missed him.

This is not a cycling skill I have any desire to acquire. Keeping up with the boys is not always necessary, I figure.

I don't see any other way to keep riding in the winter without 1) having to stop every 2 minutes to blow my nose in a tissue or 2) rubbing the skin off my face with my gloves.

I just sniffle it in and swallow. Hey, I figure it's already IN there anyway! Besides, that way I'll be less likely to get dehydrated....

This is a fine technique until you add sweat. Have you ever snorted it in and gotten some sweat along with it? It BURNS! Oouch!

I have that problem even when it's not that cold! I think between the increased cardio effort and the fact that i'm leaning forward onto my handlebars, all the snot tends to rush to the exit.
I have no problem with snot rockets, as long as they're not landing on me! (I haven't yet learned to aim with it, though, and actually I use it when i run, ski, climb too! The all-purpose skill!)

I'm with Grog on this one (make no apologies, girl!). Anything below 55 degrees, and my sinuses turn on the spigot. There's nothing else to do but blow it out.
