Hey, "Molly", thanks a bunch.

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Hey, "Molly", thanks a bunch.

As long as you ****ers keep losing water bottles along my road, I'll never need to buy one ever again!

I lost a water bottle one time, but I stopped and picked it up like a responsible citizen. I didn't leave it there like a discarded beer can, "Molly".

Dear Jiggle,
Feel free to use my water bottle since I have plenty of extras and that was a cheap giveaway. I didn't realize I lost it until the end of the ride, but had a spare to keep me hydrated. Must have launched it on that bumpy section. My fever blisters are in full bloom this week, so be sure to sanitize before using that bottle. Unless it's too late..........
Signed, Molly

Dear Molly,

This is a pretty slow section of road for even a fast rider, so I suspect you wouldn't have been going over 10mph when you heard your bottle bounce off the pavement. I'll wash it and add it to my collection. Too bad you didn't leave me an insulated bottle like that rider last year. He left TWO.

I've had the misfortune of losing lids!!reach for the bottle and no top. Never could find them, and of course none of the other ones fit this insulated bottle...

I hope Molly finds you, sneaks into your house, writes her name on all your bottles, and flips your toilet paper roll the opposite way.

Sure, but if it's a Strava segment, who's gonna turn around for a water bottle???

+1 My thoughts as well. Bottles are pretty cheap. I would certainly want to sterilize the thing first.

Oh, thanks guys for reminding me to sanitize it before using. I don't know what I would do without your advice. Which end do I drink out of? I always have to think about that one.

Someone needs to tell Molly about Camelback Big Chill insulated bottles..... (Only then she'll probably be discarding the rest of her crappy bottles along the road....)

I wonder if she's cute?
