Seems my condition is less severe than some I'm reading here. (But - I still reserve the right to rant
LOL)
My situation is - as I mentioned in the OP - that my EIA only kicks in
after a ride, and I'm 100% okay
while riding. I fully realize how lucky I am compared to those who have attacks while riding.
Also - during some hard, fast rides in summer, I was 100% okay and I never needed the inhaler although I always had it with me.

Yah - I was just whingeing in a semi-humorous way - and curious about how others handle the situation, since it's relatively new for me. But still...

Too funny!
For a long time my wife and I have been trying to decide where we want to live when we grow up. Looks like that decision may have to be accelerated now...

Interesting - thanks for the info. My pulmonologist suggested taking 2 hits immediately before riding - which I did last night. Didn't help much. perhaps I need to get him to consider a different type of inhaler. Right now I'm on a daily hit of Advair, and carry Ventolin.
