Post Surgery Update- I talked to Erick’s Mother this morning and she informed me Erick’s surgery went ok and he is recovering. Even better news is that things weren’t as bad as they had anticipated. The tumors that were removed weren’t cancerous or at least not the killer cancer that he was dealing with earlier.

I know a lot of us have been wondering what the latest is with our friend and fellow Coaster Erick. I’ve just received an e-mail from him and he is going back in for surgery today. If you’d like to know more please e-mail me randy@locojoe.com and I’ll forward it to you.
Here’s just a snippet of what Erick had to say…

I’d also like to thank my uncle and my bicycle group for helping us out. Not only did they raise some very need money to help us out, I’ve been given rides to events and had lots of help doing bicycle stuff. I totally love this group of people. Coasters Bicycle Club Rocks!!! Please visit them at www.coastersbicycleclub.com.
I’ve also had lots of requests for people who want to donate to us and I’ve yet to find a way to do that with out messing up my taxes etc. But, I do have a photography store on-line where you can view and purchase my photographs.
www.elisephoto.zenfolio.com is where my images have been set up to purchase. I’m not saying you have to buy anything, but if you are needing something for your walls and want to make sure the money goes to where it’s needed, this is a suggestion.

I think I can speak for the whole group when I say you are in our thoughts and/or prayers Erick.
