I Hate Bees

Sorry to be hating on you bees, but ya'll are just ticking me off.

Here is a recap of my last ride.

Rode 10 miles, minding my own business, passing the old jogger guy with the big Gilligan hat, then BAM!!! a bee flys INTO my helmet. I pull over quickly, take off my helmet and as I am shaking it, the bee falls out to the ground. I should go back and look at my heart rate on my Garmin, I bet it was real high.

I take a deep breath, put my helmet back on, click in and I'm off to enjoy the rest of my ride.

About 5 miles later, almost exactly where I got stung the week before, ANOTHER F...ing bee flys into my F...ing helmet. Now I'm pissed. Give me a F...ing break, what did I ever do to you.

I'm pissed..., so I just turn around and decide to head home, then another F...ing bee flys into my chest and bounces off of me as soon as I started to head back.

Did I mention I now really hate bees.

would wearing a visor on the helmet help?

Probably not, but Lotus suggested getting a netting that might go over the helmet. She looked for one at REI, but they did not have one.

I went again down bee sting alley yesterday and only had one zoom in front of me (but no contact).

I'm not sure I could get myself to wear one anyway, being the god of thunder and all...
