Master  1402   Cumming, Georgia |  Subject: Dropped by a butterfly!On my ride today at lunch I am making my way up this moderate hill and to my right I see this cute little yellow butterfly. A few seconds go by and I realize the butterfly is still there. Being competitive to anything that will race I start to speed up because I'll be darn if I let a butterfly pass me. Well apparently this butterfly was more competitive than me and made a break away. Try as I might I could not catch this butterfly! Eventually he flew off into the woods never to be seen again. A BUTTERFLY!!! REALLY? |

A BUTTERFLY!!! REALLY? Butterflies can fly anywhere from 5 to 30 MPH. The slow flying ones are usually the poisonous variety. Could be a good reason you got dropped. Maybe not. |

Elite 3683 Whispering Pines, North Carolina | Subject: RE: Dropped by a butterfly! that's pretty funny... a few months ago, i ran a route that passes by a small pond. A few insects came by and started to dive bomb/kamikaze into my eyes and hair. i was running and they could definitely fly faster than I could make my legs go... a few days later, as i was riding the same route, the same gang of bugs came out from hiding and did it again. i smirked, thinking all i had to do was up my speed to 20mph and they'd be dropped... yeah right! I was going as fast as I could and they kept up with me, and still managed to continue to bang into my face... you can't drop bugs, man... |

The deer flies are absolutely terrible right now. The last time I tried I must of looked like an escaped lunatic! Running as fast as I can slapping my head  |
