Clearing the nasal passage
 

Does anyone get nasal blockage when they ride? You know flem build up, snot, nasty boogers. I can't stand it, it only happens when I ride and I think it is hindering my performance. Breathing is a very important aspect of bieng an athlete and I want to experiment with different breathing techniques, but I can't breath from my nose.

Is there any age old cycling secret to clearing the nose b4 you ride? :(

No real secret to it. Just launch some snotrockets as often as necessary. Just be careful. You don't want to hit a passing car, pedestrian, or even yourself. I hate it when that happens.

Talk to your doctor about exercise-induced vasomotor rhinitis. I get those same systems while hiking, and my doctor prescribed Astelin nasal spray. No side effects, doesn't dry out nasal passages, just stops the running nose. I haven't tried it while biking, but I'm sure I will soon!
