2 of the riders who went down last week came to class last night  just to say hello, and let everyone know they are alright.   Both riders were in pretty good condition.  They drove themselves  to the track, and are already talking about getting back on their bikes.   Rob T has had some facial surgery, and actually looks pretty good.  He'll be as handsome as ever once the swelling goes down    Nick suffered some broken ribs, and still has a little pain when he  takes in a deep breath, but should be fully recovered fairly soon.  Derrek didn't make it out but he's doing fine.  He might need surgery on his shoulder, but  my experience is that with shoulder separations, most people choose to forgo the surgery.

That crash was pretty ugly, and going away in an ambulance is never good, but these guys are well on their way to recovery.  Iam actually really glad the guys came out, I think it  did a lot to allay the fears of some of the beginner riders that have never seen a crash like that before!
