Things you've forgotten to take on a ride

Soon afterwards, I made a kit list to cover all eventualities...

Corkscrew,

been there

An empty water bottle is no good to me.

Much better than no water bottle at all. An empty water bottle is easily filled.

That would be me then....that is, if I had a car.

As do these,

Underwear. For changing into when I get to work. On several occasions!

I've had fellow cyclists on the club run ask me to buy them a brew and food at the cafe stop,as they've conveniently forgotten their money. I tell them so have i apart from just enough to buy myself something.

That's a bit nasty, unless there was precedents.

It's happened more than once and it tends to be the same one(s)

Cash. I still owe someone twenty quid as he only had a note and I haven't seen him since! In fact I'll message him again to see when he's next out.

Did 'an autumn day out' audax with my brother for the second time last year.

He lives in Keyworth. We drove the 15 or so miles to Trowell in my car. We unloaded the bikes. Keith let out a volley of expletives.... He'd brung the wrong shoes. I calmly drove him home, then we returned to do the ride. A good day out.

My local social group would kill me if I turned up with zero cash, they expect a tenner for the pub kitty which is two stops minimum with a pint at each.

On an audax which started in Merthyr Tydfil a fellow rider realised at the cafe that he had left his wallet in his van.

I paid his bill then it dawned on him that his wallet phone and keys were all on the front seat of the unlocked van.

He had a worrying last 50 kms but it was all still there when we got back.
