ATTACK OF THE FLYING ANTS

Last night I head out to tackle 16+ miles or so for a nice evening ride.

I gear up, get going and as soon as I leave the confines of my wonderful neighborhood, I feel it.

SPLAT! SPLAT!! Another SPLAT!

I was getting bombarded by flying ants. They were everywhere!

I sped up, thinking they were just in that one area of the road I was riding on. Not my lucky day. Each road I turned on, thinking I had passed them by, they showed up. It got so bad a few times that I had to plan my breathing to coincide with the 'break of bugs" pelting me.

I had to stop a few times to take my helmet off and shoo-away the ants that got trapped in my head gear and were crawling around my scalp. It was disgusting@!

One of my most memorable rides, and not in a good way. I'm hoping tonight will be different!
