What's the mileage multiplier for getting stung by a big ugly wasp stuck on your jersey while at speed? Asking for a friend.

Woke up a little late to be entertaining the notion of riding a bike this morning. I can still reminisce about the day before yesterday, though.

I used to get bees in my helmet. Never got stung, luckily. I hated feeling them crawling around in there, wondering if they were going to sting,

A question for the Garmin folks: is going to sleep more frequently than a narcoleptic cat the default mode for these things? What kind of real-world battery life can be expected with the display on all of the time?
I love the always-on aspect of the Bolt and not seeing anything on the screen 80% of the time today was a little... weird.

I stayed local and went to the top of the mountain here. Old pictures, I have a camera but I don't know where it is.
This is a bit of the car-free road.

A few years back, a couple of bee sting threads/comments popped on the 41 and I was puzzled. I went so far as to mention that it'd never happened to me in all my life, etc, etc.
Aaaaaaand then I got stung twice within a couple weeks. Well, I got stung more than twice, but it was two incidents. One was a bee that smacked my cheek and got caught up in my helmet strap and gave me a whathaveyou for good measure. The other got scooped in to my partially unzipped jersey and hit me a couple times before I could fully unzip and shake it out. Fun times.

Looking back on a hazy day.
