To my friends, sponsors, and teammates. I’m going in for the biggest race of my life Monday morning at 6am…….. After having a Renal Artery Ultrasound and Cat-scan on Monday; a softball sized tumor was found in my right kidney. The good news is it looks to be confined to the kidney but they will be removing the kidney Monday morning. Needless to say my season has come to a quick and painful end. I was really looking forward to being a part of Team Global Bike and racing with this great group of guys. I feel as if i made some good friends and hopefully helped out when racing. Thank you to all of our sponsors and best of luck to the team the remainder of the season. I look to make a full recovery and possibly return to racing next season but time will tell on that one. Right now i’m planning on winning this one as it is the biggest race of my life. For those of you who pray; please say a prayer for me and those of you who don’t…… please wish me the best of luck as i will miss seeing you this year. Your friend and teammate…….. Derek

DK … will look forward to seeing you back on the road soon. I’m sure you’ll still be faster than most folks even with just the one kidney. Hey … it’s not like you’re losing a lung or a leg.
Be well my friend. You’re in my prayers.
