Good thing your ok Drummer. A bee of all things! I had what I thought was a giant fly or bee cross my path and intercept me right in the left nostril. I remember kind of breathing in at the same time and gagging, kind of freaking out holding the bike steady. I also had a small tiny chip of rock slap me in the face, I guess this is why the stress the full face. Which I find closterphobic. and can't spell.
