Probable Cause

The pilot reported that he overflew the destination airport and landed at a nearby airport to fuel the airplane. After fueling, the pilot departed for the destination airport and was on a straight in approach for the runway. Before touching down on the runway, the pilot reported that he neglected to extend the landing gear and landed with the gear retracted.
