    I hate going for a bike ride in the afternoon after a rainy day. There are these "clouds" of bugs that look like tiny flies or winged ants that make my life impossible

    "You know you're a hard-core biker when you can identify bugs by their taste" (no, I can't take credit for the quote)

    Vanilla keeps the gnats away. I rub it on with a napkin, especially around my face, neck and ears.

    Panty hose over your face, turtle neck, long pants, knee high socks, and gloves. Then run fast.

    Ha..pantyhose over face wont work on the trail but very effective in a suburban neighborhood!
