** MA15 Dad bod crash pics at the end of this post**
Rode a couple of trails that I assumed were there, but have never been on the right bike to find out. Bumped into a couple kids while working out where I'd missed a turn. Younger was quite surprised that I was riding all the way in to the city.

Sorted what I needed to sort at the bike shop and went on an adventure! Wasn't planning on going up Lofty, but I missed a turn going up next to the old freeway and ended halfway back down the gully.

One thing I didn't miss was the 4 inch deep rut about 10mins away from getting back to the cabin. Flying down the hill at about 35kmh and the bike jinked into it. Hit the dirt shoulder first, and smacked my head into the ground. Not hard enough to crack my helmet, but hard enough to need a new one. But I honestly thought I'd broken my collar bone because I could feel grinding when was working out what body parts were still attached. Sucked up a big cup of concrete and rode the last little bit back. Mrs George Does. Not. drive in Adelaide so it was into an Uber and off to Flinders. X-rays show nothing broken, but fuck me it hurts.
Bike needs it bars straightened, and one of the shifters has been rotated, but I'll check it over tomorrow.
