HosPITal STOP : Enduro rider Debbie Newland took a nasty tumble in a rain rut at the Hi-Mountain Enduro last month. injuring her knee . Apparently the damage was more extensive than originally thought and Debbie had to undergo surgery to remove damaged cartilage and perhaps some ligaments. She should be at home now recuperating and since she faces quite a bit of downtime. she probably would appreciate a few words of good cheer. Debbie can be reached at 2615 Avenita Calidad.
