The sun is out again this week and so are the flies and gnats.
I have a love / hate relationship with these bastards. They stick to your face, glasses, teeth and are super annoying. On the other hand, they are great for my motivation. I don't dare slow down or stop on the climbs. It's like having a personal trainer yelling at me to pick up the pace.

I’m about ready to ride with a bug net over my head

A little extra protein on the trail.

Nothing better than a little nasal gnat.

When I saw the title of the thread I thought I had been missing out on a good band.

:lol::lol:ut:Most excellent memory. I faintly remember that episode after watching it again.

once, a group of buddies and i camped at i think goose lake up along the lakes basin highway outside of bassetts.

the gnats were so bad we were forced to find a campsite closer to packer saddle.

they were so thick they got inside my coffee press, my headlamp, almost everything.

yes, gnats are a pain in the ass.

Demo is starting to gnat-up. Annoy the **** out of me.

Is there a time of day that is best?

Was also being swarmed by mosquitos, looked down at my leg and I looked like one of those poor elk in the summer arctic getting swarmed.
