Update on Rick Wolff - 11/5/24
​
Dear Sacramento PITS,
We wanted to provide a few updates on Rick Wolff's recovery.
Rick is continuing to make slow but positive progress, particularly considering the severity of his injuries. In short he is now to a point where they are able to move him forward with the assistance of mechanical interventions that were previously not an option.
Signs of infection from his initial surgeries are reducing daily. He is able to communicate (in a limited fashion, "yes/no") with his nurses with the assistance of a trach valve, an extremely positive sign.
His nutritional needs can now be attended to more thoroughly with the addition of a feeding tube, in essence giving his body more resources to help him heal. He is showing minimal pain and they have decided to delay certain orthopedic surgeries based on his progress.
He has begun physical and occupational therapy, critical steps in helping him begin to mitigate the damage that may have been done.
While he's not out of the woods yet, we take these steps to be such fantastic news. We (and we're sure everyone who knows him) aren't too surprised to see how tough he is and how hard he's fighting.
They were able to discharge him from Kaiser and moved him to a skilled nursing facility called Greenhaven Healthcare Center. He's in the Begonia wing, Room 2B. It is located at 455 Florin Rd, in Sacramento, CA. He is able to receive visitors now and we're sure he'd love to see his friends. His family has asked that we please ensure his physical and occupational therapy sessions are given top priority and that we do not ask his caregivers for medical updates or information. Let's just leave those updates to the family.
As we move forward, let's continue to keep him in our thoughts, our prayers, our hearts, and hear his words of encouragement whenever we ride. We can also send cards, letters, maybe even a few photos to his brother Randy who will make sure Rick receives them.
Rick Wolff
C/O Randy Wolff

Sacramento, CA 95828
As always, we thank you, Rick thanks you, as does his family. We'll provide more updates as we receive them.
Sincerely,
Sacramento PITS
National Worker Points Update
The Board approved a maximum of 10 WPs per any given day for the 2024 National at Donner. Most people received 10 WPs for the Sat &/or Sun of the National on 26-27 JUL. However, a few who only worked the Pro Shootout were awarded only 5 WPs. The Family Redistribution was started, so send us an email if you want your points redistributed a different way. There are still 3 more opportunities for WPs.

Worker Points Update
There are 4 more opportunities for Worker Points. The Family Redistribution was done for some members that were in contention for clinching a Championship since WPs is a criteria, but this won't be formally done to everyone else until after the JOBs have been allocated.

In Memory of Longtime PITS Member Jim Winter
It is with sadness that we announce that longtime PITS member and friend to many, Jim Winter, passed away on April 21, 2023.
Below is the announcement from his friend Bob Mark:
​
Jim Winter completed his last event on Friday, April 21st. He completed an incredible ride, his feet having never left the pegs and smooth forward motion his entire run.
Celebrating his transition are his wife of 62 years, his daughter and 2 grandchildren, and one beautiful great grand daughter. He will be ensconced in a memorial in the High Country, created from his collection of 2000 lbs of vintage 70's and 80's Honda cranks, pistons, and engine casings.
No memorial service is planned, but I'm sure he'd appreciate any support you might give to a novice rider, as he did for so many of us.
Bob Mark
