I learned the hard way this evening, that I must alot additional protien calories for the GNATS I eat along my ride:embarassed:

Now I know, those who know me are saying..........Jeannie keep your mouth shut while you ride, But I am here to tell ya it was breath or eat gnats........

So does anyone know of a website which will tell me the caloric count of gnats and other flying bugs?

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I'm afraid it's one of the hazards of the road. I ride early in the morning and during a couple of weeks a year the termites swarm and I have to wear a bandana. Really gross.
