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...

I'm jealous
Any bee landing between my boobs would have just flown on through - like a very small tunnel.

Welll....if'n it was a yellow jacket (aka "meat bees"), the stinger is still in the bee, not you. Mine was of this variety. 'Course they sting AND bite, so if they get trapped in boob bee canyon (or in a helmet) they can get you over and over and over.
