BUMP ON YOUR BUTT and you can't ride, and dam right uncomfortable all the way around!!! 
Just wanted to let you guys/gals know, when you think you in bad shape, time to count your blessing!!
Hopefully, I will be able to ride around the block today..
My first organized ride this past summer was jeopardized by a rather personal "bump" as well. Desperate to participate, did some personal surgery and all was well. Like I said above, I can spell stoopid, and sometimes act it out, too.
