So keep posting, and thank you!
You're very welcome. If I help anybody in any real fashion, that just makes my day! So thank you!

OP, just keep riding and all will be fine.
Yeah, I went over some bumps on my ride today, and it feels like I bounced on my tailbone; I think I was sitting badly on the seat, because I've been on this route twice before and this hasn't happened.. It's now 4:30pm, and I still have pain from something that happened at 7:30 am. I can only hope that an evening of resting and ibuprofen will help, because I really want to do the same ride tomorrow.
