Being recently injured (6/12/04), I can sympathize with the recovery time
Greg must be looking at. It's no fun, but there's always something positive
to focus on, like the "light at the end of the tunnel," be it a ways down
the road. I can also attest to the healing powers of communication, whether
it be in visitation or email, as the road to recovery is enhanced by not
being a lonely one. Scott, can we have Greg's email address to pop him a
well-wish?

p.s. Regarding the race:
Wow, the weather yesterday!!! Today at 11:00 was at least 10 degrees
cooler, and the sun...hmmm, no sun today, just rain. How did Normal pull
that one off?? :-)
I love the course - that is some of my favorite countryside in the world!
I'd like to see a state championship there, but have it finish on top of the
hill...that would make for easy place-pickings!

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Cherry Pie Crash Update
: A couple of people have asked about our teammate, Greg Tyler (GS
Camerati), who
: crashed at the end of the 1/2/3 race. Here is the report from Dan Torrey:
:
: "Greg was looking tons better after being discharged from the ER. I
believe
: he will have to see an orthopedist (bone specialist) today to get a better
: recommendation -we got a few conflicting opinions from the ER people on
his
: options. His x-ray was crazy, I couldn't recognize anything it was so
: crumpled. His clavicle is broken and has 2 fragments, his shoulder blade
is
: busted in two. He may have surgery or just get a brace, but he's out for
: about 2 months."
:
: I haven't spoken with Greg, so I don't know exactly what caused the crash.
:
: I have to say, though, it's a huge bummer. Greg has put in a huge amount
of time
: on the bike this winter to be ready for stage racing with the big boys.
And by
: the watts he was putting through the PowerTap on our training rides, it
was
: paying off. It's tough to watch all that work take such a hit in a few
: seconds.
