eternal runny nose

Yes, I get this too. I don't see any others in the peleton with this kind of problem.....

Don't know the cause yet, but I am learning to live with it. Really sucks on the climbs as it interrupts my breathing and rythm !!

I'm a chronic hayfever sufferer. This year my nasal passages haven't been quite so blocked and I haven't had to keep blowing my nose that much. But my eyes itch badly. One particular year I had such a bad time of it that the stress of the allergy caused my wisdom tooth to suddenly start growing again and I had real problems.
Apparently the best way to reduce hayfever symptoms is to alter your diet during the season as well as take anti-histamines. Even then you're supposed to avoid trees and shrubs which is pretty hard to do on a bike in the country.
