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!
