Earlier this week, 3 miles into a 10 mile ride,
something, flew across two lanes of traffic and the MUP to hit me in the chest while I'm doing about 25 mph! I've taken enough hits by small objects, so just went to brush off the area...
wrong move!!! Wasp, hornet or govt drone, it fired me up under the right nipple. I didn't feel the other three hits as I grabbed my jersey and coasted/single braked to a stop. Whatever it was, fell to the ground and was forgotten as I was concerned with the possible effects. I keep a small med kit with powdered normal saline for washing wounds. Since it also has baking soda in it, I used a little water to make a poltice and packed it under the shirt. Finished 17 more miles and no reaction. Marks still there, but at least I don't hurt.
Now what darned insect decides to commit suicide/attempted murder against a random cyclist?!
