Season's over for me.
Broken finger, broken bike, broken spirit, surgery pending....Doc said no riding, or any activity that may jeapordize the finger. So no racing for the rest of this season.
I had no idea it was so fragile. It was good that I didn't find out the hard way though.
I go in for surgery next Tuesday, the 27th of September. They'll do a bone graft to repair it, and do a biopsy of a tumor they found during the X-Ray. There is a slim possiblity that if its malignant, they'll have to amputate and I'll lose the finger. I'll know the following Tuesday if I get to keep the finger or not. I can sure use some prayer right about now. I don't want to lose my finger.
It was tough watching David Gill (OMRRA #840) get faster and consistantly leave the rest of the 600 Seniors behind yesterday. Great riding David!Wish I would have been out there racing with him. We'll try for next year!
The results are up on OMRRA's website. Due to my premature racing cessation this year, I've dropped from 4th to 5th in 600 SB Senior. I expect I'll drop further down as there's one more race this season. I'm satisfied with my results up to that point. My goal was to graduate this year. I did that. I adjusted my goal to podium in my class. I did that. I'll work toward dropping my times for next season and try to podium all season and take home a class trophy.
Gotta have a dream to chase!
Watch my news updates on the outcome of my surgery and progress on the bike rebuild preparation progress for next year. Stay tuned for events as they develop.
See ya in the pits.

Aw, man. I'm sorry bout your hand.
you could have them upgrade it to a bionic finger while they're at it...then you can save people in danger and such.
