Yes, on only the second ride home in daylight, I swallowed my first fly of the year.

Am I the first?

I'd forgotten the feeling of an insect hitting the back of your throat (hoping it's not a stinging/biting variety) and then spending the next couple of minutes trying to hack it up, instead of swallowing it, but then giving in and just doing an exaggerated swallow to get rid of it

    My years of mountain biking taught me to just swallow everything, because you'll never get it back out.
