2. Second attempt: I rode out again and half a mile later (almost the same spot as attempt #1), I realized that I forgot my HR monitor and cell phone. I went back to the house.

3. Third attempt: About 4 miles out, I realized forgot my water bottle!

I took this as an omen and called it a night. Something was telling me not to ride this evening ...
