I went out for a ride Saturday. I had a new route I wanted to check out real bad. Due to some work related issues I didn't leave home until 3pm. It was a 45 mile route so I felt I had plenty of time before dark. My first mistake is that I forgot to account for the five miles to the start point of the new route. So a 45mile ride was really 55 miles. Second mistake, was that temps dropped fast after about 4pm. I had leg warmers and extra gloves in my pockets but I didn't want to stop and put them on even though my fingers and feet were numb. The third problem is probably my first one in that I forgot to replenish an inner tube to fix a flat. I also forgot my wallet so I had no money even though part of my route was to stop and get some doughtnuts and apple cider at the County Line Orchard (the pumpkin and apple cinnamon doughnuts are legendary to folks here and for Chicago area folk). Well, went by the orchard - no money
