Road Cycling - I (h)ate love bugs

Those pesky exhibitionist insects are now back out in force in my area. They have to be the most vile tasting free protein out there. I injested one (or is that two?) today as well as getting countless ones (twos?) in my helmet and even a pair in my ear. Nasty ... nasty ... nasty ... Yuck ... yuck ... yuck. I guess this is the cosmic payback for having a whole "winter" of nice riding conditions. Us southeastern US riders know what these things are. Everyone else should count their blessings. (The spring wildflowers were spectacular, though. Not a totally yucky ride.)

I hear ya brother, luckily enough I still have another month or two before they start popping back up in florida

I prefer eating unflavored barium for an x-ray. Or even vegemite.:eek:

We usually see a swarm of them in April but, so far, I haven't seen any this year. (He says as he looks for wood to knock on.)

For me, it's easier to injest insects here:
