Try being more careful about winding down and cooling off. Or you might try bringing an inhaler and taking a dose of albuterol when you're 5 or 10 minutes from home.
Also, consider that your home may have allergens or other triggers at a level low enough for you to manage, but when you come in with the higher breathing rate from your ride, the combination brings you over the top. You might do an experiment by coming home, but staying outside until you've fully recovered, or at least close, and seeing if that improves things.
The key is to learn the patterns that cause attacks, then find workarounds. It takes patience and experimentation, but it's been my experience that it is usually manageable.
