What do you usually forget? ....

[Hover Fly]

I am too young to be forgetful. But ask Hover fly who it was that rode from Ulverston to Bowness-where he usually works-when he should have gone to Kendal for an appraisal.

It was planned, go to Windermere, catch the train into Kendal and miss the notorious congestion.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I forget stuff but dont generally forget to take or pick stuff up apart from maybe my drinks bottle for a ride. The rush to get everything together usually results in me getting a mile down the road and tbinking ...doh.

If I head out on the bike tomorrow I'll have forgotten it's Valentine's Day. I've only just remembered and the shops are shut (or if they haven't I'm not going out now).

No problem, there's always the all-night garage.

Ladies like nothing more than a five-litre jug of 20w50 and a Collins 2015 Road Atlas.

I normally pack for a ride, water bottle, phone, glasses, money and bank card, and often forget to pack one of the five. recently embarrassing senior moment, I was out on a ride and planned to book the rear wheel in for trueing at the LBS on the way back in, during the ride I punctured and realised I would have to buy some tubes whilst I was in the LBS, I booked the wheel in and got them to find the tubes I wanted and came to pay, no bank card and not enough cash to pay with, I had to have him put the tubes under the counter till the next day when I brought the wheel in.

I often forget my bike lock, mostly when I change bike or panniers - they live in my panniers.
Now, on a social ride or on the commute it's no great problem, I can lock with a pal's bike or take the bike inside at work.
But the other week I got to town wanting to do some shopping, no lock!
Rather than abort the plan I bought another one from the only place that would let me take the bike in: a LBS.

Commuting - socks, always socks, and on one memorable occasion shoes (thought I had left spare pair at work...I hadnt). Fortunately there was another pair in the shower room that fitted me, and I had seen them there every day for the last 4 weeks, so just wore them (and spent every minute of the day waiting for some burly bloke to shout "anyone seen my shoes" !
Non commuting - phone, wallet, keys, not just forgetting them, but losing them, constantly

My shopping list and people's names Cycling wise, to go faster and further

I'm terrible at remembering people's names.
