Bugs!!!!
On my group ride tonight, we were attacked by little fruit flies for miles. At first it was basicly isolated to who ever was pulling got a little, but on the way back, at one point, it felt like it was starting to rain with stinging rain drops, but then you realized that it was just bugs. If you were pulling you had to breath with your had fully down to keep from taking a mouth full of protein. When we pulled up to a light, everyone looked like the windshield of a semi after a cross country journey in the middle of summer. It was brutal.

Yea, those little gnats are a pain. You can see them in a swarm and all you can do is close you mouth and soldier on.

Yeah, it sure was gnat-sty out there. Sorry, had to be pun-ny.
I didn't know my guads were such killers, but every time I stopped and looked down, there they were; little critters everywhere. I hope when the flooding subsides, they will also.

Here in Miami we have sand fleas (no see-ums). They swarm like gnats and are tiny. They get all over you, especially when you are sweaty and they bite harder than mosquitos.
