this is wierd as I just thought of this 10 minutes ago.


I drove through tons of rush hour traffic to some natural, then got out and went to my trunk and forgot my whole fucking bike.


Then I realized I was smoking too much. Where the fuck do you live, what is that place- come ride ucla.

[SLB]

Peace its your time to shine....

I forgot my handlebars with levers & grips attached for a comp I flew to half way across australia.

I live in Los Olivos (http://www.google.com/maps?q=Los+Olivos,+CA+93441,+USA&ie=UTF8&ll=34.665582,-120.114856&spn=0.046381,0.080338&z=14&om=1), a tiny town with a few stairs, curbs, 3 doubles, 1 10' drop with a sniper landing. UCLA looks fun. I should go ride there someday.

[AndyT]

that is bum fuck no where. Yeah come down and ride :hsugh:

[Pat...]

It truly is. There's really good DH in SB, but that's 40min away.

[aki]

Left my helmet on the curve after putting my bike back in the car...and I just bought the helmet few weeks before :(

[Rodmunch]

that is bum fuck no where. Yeah come down and ride :hsugh:

Why don't you both come to UCSB and ride with me? :Wavey:

[AndyT]

Because SB has the worst traffic in the world. Yeah let's take the 5 lane freeway from LA and turn it into 2 fucking lanes :ugh:

[eturt9]

i forgot one glove and one shin pad once

[aki]

I did lose a glove once also...brand new AGAIN. :slap:

[AndyT]

[Pat...]

Yeah, SB has sooo much traffic. Fuck that. :rolleyes:

I forgot my bike at a playground for 2 hours while I went skating.Someone stole my oakleys but not my bike. I forgot my records for a Dj gig 30 miles away. I forgot my bike at a pub one night after skateboarding. That one got jacked. I often forget my ritalin as well.

[WhiteRavenKS]

i got an hour's drive away fro an interview one time and forgot to pack dv tapes. i also forgot all but one memory card when i went to shoot a race one time. forgot my card reader at another race. forgot my fisheye lens on a shoot that needed it once. forgot my full face when i went dh riding once. forgot a grip one time i had meant to replace. left my front wheel at a friend's house once. left my skills at home on the last 400 rides.

[Don Coyote]

1.5 hour drive straight from work to a city group ride: forgot to pack shorts. I rode the evening in pleated, cuffed business trousers, and if Gee had had one I would have worn a tie to go with. Halfway through the night I caught the pants in the mod's ffw. $ka-ching.

After I put my bike in the car, I leave my wrenches on the roof. Then I hear this horrible scraping/crashing noise the first time accelerating onto the highway as the wrenches slide and fall off.

Every fucking time.

[Pat...]

I usually check things at least 5 times. When I'm wearing a backpack I'm constantly checking that the zippers are closed. :eek:

Somehow I lost right and left gloves from two different fox pairs. Now, I have 2 different ones that make up my only pair.

edit: One time, when I was kayaking at The Kern River in 9th grade with the kayaking and climbing group, I left my paddle in the shuttle van (because I was helping get kayaks and stuff out) that had just driven down. :ugh: The main outdoor guy drove me down to leave me waiting in the park. He said he was in a good mood, so he let me get my paddle and drove me back up.

[Tanner]

Like Kevin, said, I've left my skills at home many, many rides. I just recently left my legs at home on a 60 mile ride with two cat 1 riders. Ow.

I've forgotten pedals and my number plate for BMX races. That sucks. Many clipless shoes have been left at home.

[GAZZZAloddi]

I used to leave all kinds of bike gear...many times I did it...
I got a solution one day.
Now I store my bike and motorcycle helmet, gloves, shin pads and trials shoes in the trunk. Works great. Though the trunk became messy. And the helmets hit the subwoofer constantly

[dubtrialsin]

i drove 45 mins south to go to a group ride
got there and had no sneakers
an hour cruize on birkenstocks wasnt bad. kinda relaxing actually, the breeze was nice on my toes.

[publicenemy245]

Ahahaha. Once at work i got a huge desire to ride. It was one of those early spring days were you have 2 weeks of shitty weather and then you have a warm, 23° sunny day out of nowhere.
I usually have my bike in the car, so all day long i was thinking "fuck want to get out of here and ride before the sun goes down".
So when it was 5 i quickly walked to my car, all happy ready not even taking a look in the back of the car. I drove to the nearest spot, got out and then i saw that my bike wasnt even in the car. :rofl: :slap:

[egidio]

I almost forgot front wheel on a three days trip.
And I hate when I forget paddnig for my helmet (it happened few times)

Drove 4 Hours to ride a Trail I had never ridden on a single speed with the wrong gearing as well on the way remembered i needed a tube 29er bought it. get to trail head start ride as the rain starts almost to the top nastiest climb (100 yards left) like straight up blow a link in a chain. go to get spare remembered I loaned it to someone. So turn around and freewheel back down the climb get about 1/4 mile to end blow a tire. Man that day stunk. Still have not ridden that trail fully.
