Bat to the Face

Wednesday nights our bike shop has a 40+ mile mountain bike group ride. We leave the shop, ride the 12 miles to the trail, ride the trail 2-3 times, then ride back.

On this particular evening, we are on our way back from the trail. Its getting late, and the sun is nearly set. Under the cover of trees, it is getting really dark.

As we ride, I see something flutter off to my left and then WHAM!

Still on the bike moving, it takes me a second too realize what has just happened.

I just had a bat fly into my face.

I turn around to see how the unfortunate animal is doing. It sort of crawled for a second, and then flew away. Apparently neither the bat nor I was harmed.
