Yeah it sounds like EIA (exercise induced asthma)

I use a ventolin inhaler before rides, and it's particularly bad in the winter. You can also wear a scarf over you mouth which warms the air as you breath in, but I find it manageabe with a ventolin.

I have the need to clear my throat after a cold ride. Not a cough as such, just the phlegm in throat feeling. It annoys the hell out of me and my work mates if I go out at lunchtimes.

I quite often get the irony taste of blood, which I realise may be similar to OPs - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood–air_barrier

and yes, can sometimes get the EIA symptoms, but not an asthma sufferer normally. My sports VO max score has always been way lower than I'd expect, maybe there's a correlation..

yep I get the taste of iron filings too! and a couple gallons of spit to go with it, also not an asthma sufferer.

Try breathing through your nose every once in a while 🙂

Could be EIO (allergy to farmyard animals)
