Two rides this week I have had flies go straight into my mouth, when I have been puffing and panting up a hill. One went straight down my throat (yum.....!!!) the other I found round my teeth about 5 mins later and spat out.

Must be the time of year for flies to be out!!

You have been warned!!!

    I can cope with flies in my mouth, I cant cope with flies/wasps in my helmet.

    Someone I know tells the tale of a wasp or bee going down his open jersey, down into his bibs and to have been crawling about on his b*lls.
    He was then smacking and swatting at his b*lls, trying to crush it before it stung him.

    I think he exaggerates...
