Drool

[Bollo]

No, I'm not talking abut the latest bike bling that I wants, but actual drool - the stuff that comes out of your mouth.

Most of my riding is done at a reasonable intensity. One unfortunate side effect of this is that without frequent wipes on my gloves I'd quickly resemble a St Bernard outside a butcher's shop

Today, I passed a younger lady rider. She was moving pretty quickly so there was time to give an on-yer-right and a cheery 'hiya' as I went past (@ianrauk's tin vibrates in anticipation). But, instead of 'hiya', it came out as 'hiyurk!' as a long ribbon of saliva issued forth. Instead of seeing a smiling, actually quite hot silver fox, she got a zombie on a bike in search of a tasty brain.

Joking aside, it's not nice. The only time I've I've heard someone else complain was a rider at a club TT who'd given the course maximum beans.

Anyone else have the same problem?

No but . Sorry.

This is one of those private things I wouldn't post on the internet. So as far as you're concerned, the answer is no and as far as the truth is concerned, the answer is no.

My eyes water a lot too, so if I stop and sit for a bit I have a crusty face that I'm not actually aware of!!

Thank goodness I didn't start my "Are your bibshorts see-through?" thread.

I started one about my butt crack.

I saw a guy walk into HQ after a TT with a ribbon of saliva drooping below his waist and back up to his hand . It made me gag

If you're drooling from down there you should go see a doctor.

The answer would of course be no. One has to maintain some decorum on the interweb you know.

Apart from Rich, he doesn't.

Another no from me on the dribbling front.
But your thread reminds me: once, I was on a group ride on a very cold day.
I get a runny nose when it's cold, just for the first few miles, then it stops.
One of the girls asked if I wanted a tissue.
A tissue?? Who on earth blows their nose on a tissue while riding???
We all know you're meant to use the back of your gloved hands!

I don't think I dribble from my mouth too much, but the volume of snot running from my nose, especially during the colder months, is particularly distressing. When I buy gloves my decision-making is based on their absorbency capabilities.

I get the nose as well but this usually starts after I've finished the ride.

Aren't bodies great!
