I was in the cat 5 race last lap and lo and behold got stung twice, once in the head and once on the hand. When i took my helmet off ( long hair i have) there it was still in my hair and it was a yellow jacket.

They are demon spawn that (literally) nearly killed me at David Douglas a few years ago. Raid em. Or fire. Or throw cans flaming cans of Raid at them. Just don't turn your back until you're sure they're dead...

I Just got bit/stung twice in five minutes in yellowstone last week by those bastards. So I'm pro-revenge.

Save the pollinating bees!!!

Please do your due diligence to confirm what they are before execution. I was lucky enough to have the course diverted during my race so I have no data.

They were not Bees. They were hornets. Bees only sting once and die as the stinger sticks in you. Hornets sting multiple times and are MUCH more aggressive as we saw last night.

Other than that little episode and some first night technical glitches, what a rad night! Thanks for the good time, and big props to the Swift/21st team, distinguished gentleman Ron Strasser, and Brad from Metropolis for helping us make it work.

See you next week!

Oh, and the dairy is bringing out the big guns on the insects.

Don't kill the bees! Don't you know we are in a dangerous world-wide
decline of bee populations?! We need them to pollinate our food and
flowers. I would rather the course be altered than to kill bees.

There were a lot of things that made last night special. Perfect weather, a magical sunset, the healthy competitive spirit shared by our competitors... oh, and the enormous swarm of angry bees full of hate. Once located we fought bravely, turning the course into a wild maze around the occupied tree and emptying a can of bee spray into their base. By that point rider and course worker casualties were extensive, and the offensive chemical tactic only seemed to make them more angry.
