Beside the bird attack the morning ride was nice but with a big headwind.
I will look forward to seeing it. I almost got a crow in the face the other day. It was chasing a butterfly and it swooped around a cube van and almost collided with my face. My son thought it was hilarious.

I occasionally have birds and bees come up to my hair (it is curly and red and can start to look like a fro after a while) since it looks like a nectar source at times.
[MENTION=227213]wphamilton[/MENTION] I have been feeling fatigued this week and the more hardcore summer riders are out. I have had a few pass me and it has been hard work to keep with them. But I always remind myself my son is on the back feeding me dried fruit, better than gel in jersey pockets. Last night my son's daycare was clearing out surplus yoghurt and I had two flats of yoghurt carefully packed in my pannier, making it extra difficult to keep up. Darn silly commuter racing.
