I posted the below about a year ago. It's a short account of a bug ingestion while riding in summer of 2011:
This summer while flying down a fast hill, mouth open, I ingested a bug that felt like the size of a bee. It was pretty far partially down my throat so I involuntarily gagged trying to force it out; I was close to losing my breakfast but it still didn't work. It went down so far that I conceded the ingestion so I figured it's better to just wash it down all the way. As I'm taking one gulp of water, the bug actually came all the way back up and flew out and away.
