Another gorgeous sunny day with mid 60s temps and calm wind. I joined some friends for a MTB ride this morning at a good set of trails in Macon behind the LH Thomson factory (where they make the seat posts and stems). I was having a good ride until I overcooked a dropoff into a turn and flipped forward landing on my head and back. Didn't hurt much, but my helmet was full of sandy dirt. It did make me lose my confidence enough that I didn't want to keep riding and my derailleur hanger was tweaked a little, making shifting sloppy, so I quit after 10 miles.

After driving home and eating lunch, I wanted to ride more, so I took Ribby out for a 20 mile road ride. The VO saddle still was painless even with the cheap shorts I wore. So far so good.
