    That looks like fun.
    What did you do to provoke that leech? Did you pull it off? Did it hurt?
    Wouldn't you rather be attacked by Cotton Ball Man?

    i put my legs in the lake. i felt something that felt like a yellowjacket BEFORE they bite. Then i saw it and pulled it off. it hadn't actually stuck itself on me yet.

    Lisa, I agree with you on the riders who "surprise" you when passing. Thankfully, this has happened to me only once in awhile. I usually say something, too, like, "Have a nice day..." Lately there have also been a bunch of older men, beginning cyclists, who i pass. I always give warning and try to say something nice to them, since I don't want anyone to feel like *I* was being rude.
