    OMG! A boob bee... bwaahahhahahahahaha! Dangit, even I have to laugh at that...

    fortunately today it is a minor red spot with a little stinging... but mainly cause my bra is rubbing it...

    I think I gave new meaning to howling like a banshee too! Kudos and props to my bro for not laughing in my face... he dead panned it and was appropriately appalled on my behalf...

    Believe it or not about 10 miles later we had to stop again as another bee landed under my left armpit... so I was riding along with one arm in the air to avoid squashing it.... apparently there will be no wearing of my new BRIGHT RED jersey in the summer time... I'm an avid gardener... I shoulda known better but just was't thinking... sigh...

    Ouch! I feel your pain! Literally! I 've been stung twice in the last month by yellowjackets while riding - one got caught in my sleeve, and one got me on the neck below my helmet. Wow, it really hurts, abnd it just comes totally out of the blue! And I think I was last stung about 30 years ago... Thank goodness you didn't wreck!

    Ahhhh, memories. There is a short but steep hill on one of my normal routes that will forever be known as "Bee Sting Hill". I got a bee in my bonnet, stopped in the middle of the hill, and hucked my helmet...into the blackberries. Now that was dumb.

    But I think of it every time I ride that hill!

    Boob-bee Boulevard for you?

    That is way too funny! Your story brought back memory of a bee that stung me on top of head through my freaking helmet. Honestly, I couldn't help it but was swerving like a mad woman and yelping and whacking my head. It was not pretty. I DO NOT want to know what drivers were thinking but most slowed down and kept their distance away from me.

    OMG! At least with it between my boob-bees I could see and remove the stinger... HOW do you get the stinger out when you get stung on the head???

    frankly I'm amazed and unsure how I didn't crash... I definitely fishtailed but somehow stayed upright...

    I forgot to mention my bro flatted at mile 30 too... so we just cut it short at that point... between my stinging chest and the flat we were just outta steam...
