Nope.
The pitter patter of falling rain was in fact the mahoosive amount of greenfly!!
Dear God in Heaven I was GREEN when I got home. I swear if the little sods had co-ordinated their flight I would've taken off.
That was utterly, utterly minging. :? I ate several of them before I kept my head down and turned myself into the Incredible Hulk's fatter elder brother.
I guess the countryside cycling does have some disadvantages...

That happened down South too. Covered in bugs by the time I got home. Not sure I need dinner now...Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.0

PITA on the bike today, some hit the glasses but one or two sat behind the glasses between eye and lens :x Don't think I ate any though.I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0

I ate loads today, and had to give glasses good clean from splatted ones.
not a good day to try out my new WHITE top as it has specks of green on now
edit: did ride for four hours through the lanes for around 3 of them though0 -
On my 3.5mile commute i got about 4 catterpillars as well as millions of the things, Especially one half mile bit, when you could barely see ahead a few metres

This may in part be a Nottingham phenomenon. I was absolutely caked in the little sods on arrival home tonight. Lets hope the ladybirds get busy tomorrow.0 -
