Know the feeling. I haven't missed a ride yet, but have occasionally stomped around home trying to find temporarily misplaced gloves, headband or glasses.

Which is not a total problem since I do have a 2nd set somewhere, either brand new or more grotty set. Worst thing is not finding my keys or wallet ..I do this temporarily ...and waste half hr. or so finding the misplaced keys or wallet.

I do have a box where all sorts of little cycling gear is stuffed but it does not solve the problem of a thinking cyclist-to-be wandering around with her possessions at home.
