Not a fun ride tonight. Hot and humid, heat index in the 90's. When I got to the 9 mile mark (where I usually turn around) I realized I had forgotten both my water bottles. Chalk it up to a change in my routine. Yesterday I had the bike on a stand to clean and lube the chain, but I didn't ride because we had thunderstorms rolling through. I had forgotten the bike was on the stand, so when I got to the garage tonight I had to take it down, set it outside, and put the stand away. I had set the bottles down when I did this, and totally forgot to go back and grab them before I rode away. I also need to remember to keep a few dollars in my tool bag. I could have bought something to drink along the way, but I had no way to pay for anything.
