Let's offroad / mountain bike / mtb / ride dirt

Thanks. I was actually feeling the benefit of rolling with better riders and was looking forward to riding with them again to improve my skills. Now I've just got out of bed because I can't get comfortable and I wont be able to do my manual job tomorrow so no pay for a while.

So yeah, I'll stick to my road bike then.

Bah, if you aren't falling off you aren't trying hard enough - good to hear that you were pushing your limits. Ribs are painful and annoying I know but it sounds like it could have been worse :)
