A sufferfest is when you are bombing downhill 30mph and get stung through your clothes into your inner upper thigh, such as happened to me yesterday. From the size and type of the sore that developed and from experience I'd guess it to be a yellow jacket.
We were on the tandem. As my sweetie said, I get to be the windshield and when the roads are wet she gets to be the fender.
