Howdy,
Beth and I knocked out about 150 miles this afternoon on her bike. We ran out by Lake Livingston and Wolf Creek State park. The love bugs were unbelievable. It was so bad I could not keep my visor clean enough to see. They would hit, smash, sliiiiddddddeeee, and then wisk away on the wind leaving behind lots of goo to catch the next few. The front of the bike was disgusting. The smell of cooking love bugs on the motor even more digusting When we stopped, the smell of the dead bugs would bring the live ones running from all directions. After a short break, the front of the bike was coated in both dead and live bugs. I would have taken pictures, but I could not wait that long to get the hose out and wash the bike after getting home. I'm not even going to bother trying to describe the mess on my mesh jacket I finally got my helmet relatively clean, but the little buggers have almost clogged the vent just above the visor. Getting that out may be a serious challenge. It really sucks that today was some of the absolute best riding weather we have had all year and yet the bugs have to be out Oh well, I guess it beats sitting inside while it rains outside
Adios,
