Stuff we find on rides thread

I found a socket set on the side of the road in Denver... Gave it to my brother as I already had two.

Hacksaw.

Random socket wrenches.

Multi-function screwdriver, one that you can pull out the end and flip it around, or pull the whole piece of metal and flip it around.

(can you tell I'm attracted to shiny things on the side of the road )

Starbucks gift card. The gals I was riding with got excited over that one, but called the number on the back and the balance was zero.

Golf balls, a penny, a smashed snake, keys....

All I found today was a squashed robin.

Dead skunk, dead fox, and a broom. A witches' duel?

Thankfully I had just swallowed my coffee when I read this, thanks for the laugh!

Yesterday I only saw one road kill, a poor frog.

I think the pile of something I saw yesterday used to be a turtle. But I couldn't be sure......

Last week I was descending a hill at the mountain bike trail and saw a Camelbak podium bottle on the ground in the middle of the trail. It was actually in a precarious spot so I stuck it in my bottle cage and watched for a cyclist without a bottle but I saw none. I brought it home, disinfected it, ran it again through the dishwasher and added it to the collection. These are $9-10 bottles, I am sure someone was disappointed to lose it as it appears fairly new.

I also find tons of ponytail holders. These are my cat Tortilla's favorite toy so I bring them home, wash them with dish soap and give them to her. I also collect tubes which mountain bikers have an affinity for just discarding on the trail. One day I will patch or recycle them.
