Winter air? Oh, yeah. Flonase and Sudafed help. Usually one good blow after 15-30 minutes and I'm good for the rest of the ride. But that's also when the exertion aggravated asthma kicks in, especially in cooler air, so I suck a couple of whiffs off the inhaler.
The human body is mostly damp stuff demanding to be released. And no matter how much coffee and beer we feed it, the next day it starts all over again.
