I got stung in the face AGAIN!!! They’re so jealous of how pretty I am?!??? First time riding with the WNR crew. Getting the invite was a nice happy accident from running into Kira yesterday. It was advertised as an easy ride but it was spirited and at times, spicy but nothing too crazy. We had stopped in Huddart for a bathroom break and when we got going again, turning back on to the main road, a bug hit me in my left cheek beside my mouth. I thought it was going to be like every other bug that hits me in the face, feeling the sting of the impact but instead, I immediately I felt the burning of a sting. I think there should be a rule against instant stings. If they're going to sting you, they need to land, do a big anticipation, and then sting you. We did a bonus Willowbrook lap to go back for stragglers. On Alpine, I didn't know they were going to bomb it. The guys ahead kept getting further ahead and I was waiting for Kira behind me but she was falling further back because she didn't have the gearing with her gravel bike so I slowed down until she caught up. Yesterday we only got to catch up about what went wrong during her bikepacking trip so it was nice to catch up about the stuff that was good.
