Thanks – mountain bikers at Santiago Oaks

Only Tuesday however it feels like a long week already for me.  Earlier this afternoon I went for ride at Santiago Oaks in Orange, CA to relieve some stress.  It was pretty warm so I wore my favorite MtnBikeRiders sleeveless jersey.  The ride was nothing out of the ordinary; Santiago Oaks was a great as usual!

 

The ride made me feel better.  As I packed my gear and left, I had that nagging feeling that I forgot something.  When I arrived at my house I began to unpack my gear.  Everything was accounted for except for my jersey.  I rummaged through my car and no luck.  Man I was bummed… 🙁

 

Never had I forgotten any of my gear, packing up after a ride.  I’ve forgotten things before a ride, like my shoes and ended up riding in my Crocs, but I’ve always been good getting my things together.

 

I quickly took a shower, jumped on my motorcycle and headed back to the parking lot.  I wish I had a camera.  When I arrived at the parking lot, I saw my jersey hanging on a tree branch, next to where I had parked. 

 

I recall as I left the parking lot that there were a big group of riders getting ready to ride.  This parking lot is typically filled with mountain bikers in the afternoon as it’s a popular after-work ride.

 

I just want to give a BIG THANKS to whomever left my jersey on the tree.  No doubt it was fellow mountain biker and they knew I would be coming back for it.  After all it’s a limited edition jersey 😉

 

Thanks again!
