I just sent him a text. I will call him in a few days - after his ribs are better so he won't cry when he laughs!

Oh John, their health first, the dragon later. Johnny broke 3 of his ribs a few years ago and he was in pain for a good bit. And the laughing was the worst part. I will look forward to our trip though. I'm ready. I will be keeping them both close in my thoughts. you guys just keep me posted!

Derwin called me yesterday. He and Brenda are in my prayers. He has eight broken ribs, a broken collar bone, bruised hip, I believe a broken finger, one finger nail was ripped off, and a concussion. However, he is a trooper and will make a fast recovery.

You can't keep that tough old dude down! I wouldn't be surprised if he goes into work before the week is over.....Derwin told me that someone riding a motorcycle ahead of him (not part of his group) crossed the center line and side swiped a mini van. From what I understand, it bounced the bike back into Derwins path. Luckily, Derwin was only going about 25 mph, but it destroyed his and his wifes helmets. We are very lucky to still have them around.....and thank God they had helmets on, or it would have been much worse. He and Brenda are two of the finest folks that you will ever meet, and I'm sure they would appreciate everyones prayers.

Thank god they had on helmets
I used to ride in packs..no more. It is the pack mentality with so many normally safe riders to be careless.
But "**** happens" and 10x's that on two wheels. Prayers go out for a speedy recovery.

Thanks everyone for the kind words, its been a rough 4 days very sore with the ribs broke as well as the collar bone. It is very hard to see with the double vision from the concussion, Brenda is doing well but very sore as well. Thanks again for being there for us
