Gasp! I was too mortified to say anything but I accidentally ate not one, but two bugs out near Sterling on Monday while on the W&O. One was crunchy. Tasted worse than power bars.

Funny! Power bars prepare cyclists for whatever might fly into their mouths. Lots of brown marmorated stink bugs around these days. I didn’t realize they flew until they showed up at my house recently.
I notice that the gnats (not the Nats) tend to come out around dusk and sunset. A lot of them at Hains Point. I’ve also seen huge clouds of bugs in the area by the 14th St. Bridge and the Jefferson Memorial. Some of them hide out in your hair for the rest of the ride.
What’s even worse than eating a bug is breathing them in. I don’t think it’s recommended to get bugs into your lungs, but I’ll have to check on that.
