Rick went down in practice & hurt himself pretty bad Saturday evening.

Anybody know excatly whats wrong, where he's at & how long will he be there?
If he's in the hospital, I would like to visit him.

Thanks,
Bruce

I was also looking for an update... my wife told me that Ron announced "...no broken bones but they had to pull broken bike parts from his leg."

That makes me a little squeamish!

Rick is ok. Nothing is broke thank goodness. Just a gash in his leg from the brake lever. They stitched him up and sent him home. He will be sore for a while but he is ok an we are very thankful.

Thanks for a the well wishes. I'm sure he will post soon.

Oh my!!! BEST NEWS first thing in the morning!!

When we found out up on the deck it was Rick, a few of us got pretty emotional. After I found out it was him I loaded up & drove home. I was bummed for him all night long.

Thanks Darla for sharing good news.

Hi everyone. Surprisingly after all the blood....I am ok. Just a good gash in my upper left thigh from my brake lever. (if anyone saw the crash...I'd love to hear your version of what you saw.) No broken bones, no damage to the artery....just some stiches. I did cut the muscle which I think is the cause of most of my pain. They stiched it up and the muscle should heal on it's own.

I feel really lucky today....for not being more seriously hurt and for having such great friends. A huge thanks to everyone who helped me, who watched my boys after I left in the ambulance and for all the good thoughts and wishes sent my way. You all are great friends and I'm especially thankfull to you all.

I'll be back in January at RAD Canyon Indoor. If I don't see you before that.....Happy Holidays.

Man its good to hear that you are up and going even a little. I do got to tell ya you had me a little freaked out ! WOW !!! I'm sooo glad you are ok buddy ! If we can do anything please let me know. I'm looking forward to seeing you back on the track in action Get well soon

Good to hear broman. Get well soon. Let me know if you need anything.

it's funny how words get twisted but not funny that you got hurt... but I tell you what, you're much better off than what I was overhearing!

I hope you're up and around soon!

Yeah...I heard some of the rumors. I did have some metal shaving in my leg from my brake lever. I also had some small pieces of my pant stuck in there. I will be wearing leathers for now on...I think that may have helped. If your kids are not wearing leathers I recommend that you get them a pair. I will be more than happy to share some pictures of my leg with you if you need any conveincing.

I work in a hospital and I stay away from the 'blood and guts' as much as possible--I get squeamish a little easy... but something is compelling me to want to see these photos. But if I did, I'd probably hurl!

Rick,
e-mail the pics @ bndrace@comcast.net.

I was there for all the live action!

I've seen the pics and the real deal was much worse. Pic didn't show how deep the cut was!

I'm glad you're okay!

way to tell your competition how to take you down. great combat strategy is to make the enemy so sick that they do not have the will to fight

haha! good one... but that's ok, I just yawn at the beginning of our heats and get all of the other old guys yawning too. it really takes them out of it.

I hear wearing a colostomy bag helps too
