Rivingtons own Lord of the Flies

My mate and I were at the Ice Cream car park at Rivi this morning just about to start the climb up the track under the bridge when a guy came down the track towards us. Bloody Hell the poor sod was covered in flies and had a black cloud of the little buggers following him. We jumped off our bikes and gave him as wide a berth as the track would allow, I dont think I have seen anyone who didnt have a bag of limes up his bum look so miserable.
We thought we were going to get eaten alive like this poor sod but hardly saw a fly all day. Either this fella smeared himself with bovril or he had crapped himself but I have never seen so many midges in my life outside of a scottish campsite shithouse.

One time at work I went to my car in the staff car park and my car was covered in flies. Turned out some sod had got a bucket of blood from a butchers and given my car a wipe down with pigs blood. Every fly for miles was crawling on my bodywork, took about 3 washes to get rid of the blood.
Got my own back by putting a packet of prawns on top of his engine . Mmm I love the smell of rotting singed prawns in the morning.

I usually wear a spare buff round my neck it keeps the sun off my neck and when you hit a big cloud of the little biting buggers it can be whipped up and worn over the mouth Cowboy Train robber styleFig rolls: proof that god loves cyclists and that she wants us to do another lap0 -
