Black Flies

They are out in force!

I went road riding today, and I got one in the eye and at least three in the mouth. One in each ear too.

Deadly little buggers. They always seem to go in the eye on a screaming downhill when you desparately need to see, and in your mouth on steep climbs when you desperately need to breathe.



And to top things off, I almost had a wasp fly into my helmet vent on my way back home. Brutal.

Well, not as bad as last year when I had a wasp get caught between my helmet strap and the side of my face and sting me on my cheek bone. That was a bummer.
