Sign of???

It was warm enough here to ride in shorts and short sleeves yesterday. Then I got on my bike and started out of the drive before I realized I had put on my thermal head covering under my helmet.

This weird weather might be messing with our heads???

Not apparel-related, but still a "be prepared" goof. On last weekend's group ride I remembered everything but my water bottle. I approached one of the ride leaders before the ride and asked him if there was a store nearby where I could buy a Gatorade. I said in a quieter voice "I forgot my waterbottle". I figured I would buy one of the sports bottle shaped ones that fits in a bottle cage and has a top similar to a bike bottle.

He started to tell me where I could go to buy a Gatorade, but when he heard me say I forgot my bottle he said he happened to have several brand-new bottles in his vehicle, so he gave me one. I offered to pay him for it, but he refused, saying he had lots of bottles. I thanked him profusely.

This is the first time I have forgotten to bring water on a ride. The funny thing is that I had a dream the night before that I forgot my HR strap and video cameras, which of course I remembered for the actual ride.

The bottle he gave me looks pretty nice. It has several manufacturer names on it and "Women's Specific Design" near the top of the graphics.

I have taken to setting phone reminders to tell me to do everything. I've been a zombie since the time change and group rides roll at 8 about 20 mi from my house!

Quite a while back, was rushing about to go off on my bike for a quick blast, short while into my ride looked down to realise I had odd shoes on!
