I got home from my ride yesterday and discovered a wasp in my bike helmet. We've had the first snow of the year so temperature is cooler not sure what wasp was doing out and about.

Copped a bumble bee in the mouth, in the South Island when I was cycling there one year. The poor bastard riding behind me copped the bumble bee and other stuff when I offloaded the bumble bee.
Not one of my finest moments. :D

A few years back I had a bad day...... Stepped on a Scorpoin and it stung my toe, then a couple of hours later a Spider bit me on the shoulder, then in the afternoon a bee nailed me between the eyes on a ride. I am not sure if all the venom was good or bad because the next day I set a few PBs on Strava!
