Doing my best Roadie Imitation

I did my best roadie imitation today, kitting up in the most Euro looking thing I could find and hitting the road with the good ol' Scott Slowster. It's actually the speedster, but it's a tank of a road bike. I like passing real roadies on their expensive carbon rigs with. Especially wearing my mtn shoes. Anyway, went out over Waggoner's Gap, then around and back over Doubling Gap, which I have never done before. On 944 on the way back I got mauled by a veritable horde of gnats or maggots or some small bug that I absolutely killed as I rode through their masses. It felt like getting hit by tiny pebbles. For 10 miles. All this after last nights crazy highliter party... oh yeah...
