I have joined MTF as a member this year working with Colleen Millsap as a "C" rider but staying in West Virginia public schools. I will be going down to train as much as possible during the year and then stay there in June and July getting ready for Loretta Lynn’s.
As I was riding at MTF training for Mini O’s I was practicing a rhythm section in which I overshot the second set and went over the bars and tried to catch myself, which caused me to break my right wrist. I had a clean break in the radius and chipped a piece off the allna. I have five pins through my right wrist that were put in place by Dr Berg at Tallahassee Orthopedic Clinic in Tallahassee Florida. I broke my wrist on October 31 and expect to have the pins in place for about four weeks, which puts me at November 28th when the pins are removed. After the pins are removed I will be put in a short arm cast expected for around two weeks which puts me at December 12. Once the cast is removed I will then begin physical therapy and hopefully be getting back to riding on a turn track at toward the end of December beginning of January. But because of this injury it has kept me from competing in the Mini O’s and most of the Florida AM series. I am going to try and make it to the last two weekends of the Florida AM series pending my wrist recovery time. But on a better note we have finished building the mod race bike with TLR in Florida and have the stock race bike ready for when I am released to begin riding. I feel bad for all my sponsors for not being able to represent them at Mini O’s and the beginning of the Florida AM’s series. I still plan to work on qualifying for Loretta Lynn’s and going to Texas for Oak Hill or Lake Whitney in March.
