[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1217389, member: 14668"] I do about 140 miles per day and about half of it is gravel. I dont have a problem with coughing, its the dust boogers that are a killer. That dust is basically a bunch of microscopic razor blades and once you breath them up into your nose and sinuses they cause bad nosebleeds. During the dry summer months, I pretty much have continous and unending nose bleeds, they are pretty minor but over the course of a full day I can wind up swallowing enough blood to make me sick to my stomach. Throw in the heavy pollen that I am allergic to in May and June, and the working conditions can be downright miserable. And constant driving over washboard gravel roads is almost as hard on my lower back as a pig iron industrial route was. Rural routes still better than urban ones, but they sure as hell arent the cakewalk that many people think they are. [/QUOTE]
