Ride foiled by missing gear

[MommyBird]

We took a cross country camping vacation last summer that included two nights in Moab, UT. We had four mountain bikes with us for campground transportation and sightseeing but we had to ride Red Rocks since we were there.

As we were getting ready to go my hubby asked for the water bottles. I had eight with us for hiking but they were too big for the bikes. Oops.

We stopped at a local bike shop and purchased some with their logo. They became our souvenirs.

They have also become our favorites. They look basically like your standard Specialized bottle but they are an off brand. They open easier and the lids screw on better. I wish we could get some more!

As for gloves, I purchased two sets of all basic clothing needs when I ramped up my cycling for my new road bike last month. I know from trying to keep hubby in clean gear for 20 years that more is better.

It won't be long and I will be able to justify set #3!
My elliptical is feeling neglected but my plantar fasciitis is even less irritated.

That's why I carry tons of spares in my "pig-pen" car!

But, once four of us drove to a ride in a friend's car. We got to the start and realized one of them forgot their shorts. We scrounged and figured she could use a pair of boyshort undies. Until we realized I forgot my shorts too. Two out of four of us.

We drove home and rode from there.
