just when i thought i was shaking off the total novice label..... big school boy error this evening ...out on bike for a 20km ride..helmet and glasses in place...have defended these glasses to non-tri folks saying how good they were stopping wind/flies etc......even if they think i look daft...anyway 12k in and they start to steam up...decided to stick them in my pocket instead of giving them a wipe...literally 2 mins later caught a ninja horse fly straight in the eye...and i don't mean a glancing blow...full on splatter inside eye lid...brought me to a halt on side of road...then realised for some strange reason I had decided blackcurrant squash was a good idea in the bottle tonight (never done it before)...so had nothing to wash the pesky devil out with...queue 5 mins poking about making the situation worse....then started laughing how stupid i must have looked ....probably not the best time to ask the two ladies that were walking past to help me by looking into my eye.........

aoneill69, I would worry to much about it, we've all been there. A wee while back I fell at the side of the road as I pulled over to make a right hand turn and traffic was murder. I couldn't clip out and fell over. A few cars stopped, most were laughing though. If it had been the other way round I would probably have laughed at me as well
