    I constantly have to employ the Snot Rocket and cough up while riding. Any ideas what might cure this? Also, could this be connected to the TUES regarding Asthma and hay fever that some pro riders have been granted as I do not see many of them deploying the snot rocket or hawking up during races. Maybe there is an over the counter medication that would help?

    Neilmed sinus saline rinse

    Neilmed sinus saline rinse does the job for me. No morning sputum or booger blasters ever.

    The morning ride, especially

    The morning ride, especially in the cold of winter, seems to bring up my nightly gunk, the evening ride home removes the build up due to my allergic rhinitus from the air con.  The warmer weather means less, but it never really stops, one reason I could never wear a non effective pollution mask.

    With all the caveats that asking for medical opinion via the Internet carries….

    Post-nasal drip arising from allergens may be a cause. It can be treated with a steroidal nasal inhaler, or better (in my case) moving out of the city and breathing in less toxic exhaust.
