Flies, bugs and other unwanted protein

Fortunately temperature is now dropping. If I cycle home along the river as it is getting dark, I am definitely getting a dietary supplement of midges etc.
Don't breathe well enough through the nose to close my mouth.

Just treat them as an extra meat ration.

Some of them taste really horrible.

I've often wondered what makes the birds and other insectivores that different from us that they love them, personally I prefer it if they go straight down and don't touch the sides. The ones that I definitely don't want a mouth full off are the stinging ones.

I adopt the Chris Froome tactic. i.e. I'm staring at my stem, so have no issues with stuff flying in my mouth, unless it approaches from below.

Make sure you add them to your daily macro's and you'll be fine.

Seriously though when I ride around Alton Water in the summer months, I could not complete even half a lap with a neck scarf pulled over my mouth.
