So I went for a ride (road) at lunch today with office roadie.

At an intersection, cars whizzing by, car behind me blasting Eminem, office roadie sprints across, I go to do the same, but half way across the road I feel a sharp pain on my left side of my back, and then again, and again, I can't reach it, that spot you really can't grab, pedaling a bicycle probably didn't help. all the while, there is a truck coming my way, I'm still in the lane mind you, coasting. finally I'm able to reach back and feel a little "visitor" under my jersey, and squish the eff out of him, the truck lays on his horn and yells something as I just make it across, must've thought I was trying to play chicken or something. Car behind me is honking his horn and yelling now hanging out his window speeding past me.

God damn yellow jacket picked a great time to feast on my flesh.

Yikes man....that's a lil scary.

Yellowjackets have made me run thru the woods like a lunatic.
Our lunchtime ride was exhausting.

The riding shirt with the full length front zipper seems to always catch em for me. Last one went in the front, stung me on my portable beverage storage unit and then once more around the back :o

Yup, I'm thinking that's how it happened.
I had a full length zippered jersey on, it was hot as .... and I must have caught him while I was riding along.
