One of the few days with a little sun in the last...well it seems like forever...and the first group ride of the season, and my new road bike, and I'm all jazzed with helmet on, bike out of the car and I realize I FORGOT MY SHOES. ARGH. I'd have trouble keeping up while clipped in, so there was no way I was going to try it with sneakers on my SPD pedals. I have never forgotten my shoes for a MTB ride.

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID

And I just bought a big bag to start carrying everything around in as I'm finding it hard to remember if the multitool is in the mountain bike or road bike saddle bag, do I have my pump, etc., etc. BUT I hadn't started using it yet. Needless to say, as soon as I got home, I packed it up and made a list to look at every time I go out. I guess that's the lesson I was supposed to learn today.

Nobody at home to give me sympathy so I posted a MTB ride for tomorrow. THAT will make me feel better.

Rant over. Thanks. I feel better.
