A sniffle, definitely start and see how you feel on the ride. Remember if there's any decision to be made about a possible DNF then make it after you've stopped, eaten and rested (most of the time you'll feel good enough to continue).
Can't think of a time when a long ride has made a sniffle any worse.
Post exercise protein (a pint of milk or a milkshake works for me) will help ward off the post-Audax immune system dip too.
Any symptoms below the neck and there's no dishonour in a DNS.
