I rode yesterday and today (I know, right?!), and I was sweating a lot more at the end of my ride today even though I started earlier... the humidity is creeping back in...

Hgh

I don't wear back protection but I always wear my Camelbak while riding for that same reason.  Doesn't protect the entire back like you mentioned, but has definitely saved my ass a few times.

Get better man, that looks like it hurt like a beast.

Thanks amigo..I hit up Redhorn afterwards and fortunately no beer came spewing out so just a deep bruise I reckon.

Anyone out there using back protection while riding? I took a spill on Wednesday and rammed my back into the nub of a branch that was cut off,  it was mostly flush but had a bit of a point.  Knocked  the father, son and holy ghost out of me!!  Put a hole in me too. I'm riding a Camelback LR these days (was using Camelback MULE for 25+ years) and I got hit just above the main pack.  Maybe I'm just getting wussier in my advancing age but it gave me pause of "what could have happened"

👊 🤙to the bike amigos today who showed me a line on Rim Trail , much appreciated!
