Makbike--I had a brush with nature, too. A butterfly flew down my top on today's ride. Felt something, and was glad it wasn't another bee. Carefully pulled the edge of my top, and she was off unharmed!

Rode my regular 18 mile loop in lots of summer tourist traffic, but kept my head clear and didn't react to the stupid guy who screamed at me from the top of his lungs just for a laugh. Take the good with the bad.
