If you are, I am also interested, and you can let me know more> bahamajon_81@hotmail.com. Hope to get a chance to chat to you on your ride and its great to see all the success you've made! |

Saul,
Our Raisin' Hope Penny Drive at Brookwood is going well. We had our first count this week and we're almost at $600.
On another note, a buddy of mine and I did Ft. Mtn. today; it was awesome to see the paint on the roads from previous Tours de Georgia.
I'm really looking forward to the ride on the 31st. I know lots of other folks are eager for the ride, too.

What’s up my name is Chris, I live in Dalton and I'm wanting to get into mountain biking but I have BMX roots so naturally I want to be in the air. I have ridden your trails several times with some of my friends, and plan to be out there early in the morning. But I was just wandering if you /we could put some more elaborate bridges or a few small table top jumps out there ill help for free. I’ve got plenty of experience in building jumps and wooden ramps. Like I said ill help for free e-mail me at iwantsk8decks@yahoo.com
Comment: You probably want to talk to the North West georgia chapter of SORBA, as they maintain those trails. See http://www.nwgasorba.org for more info. |

Hi Saul,
Read the story about your terrible crash and the aftermath in a Dutch Bicycle magazine. I have deep respect for your fighting spirit. I know what it is to fight back and be back on the bike again. It is a great feeling. Good luck and see you somewhere in Europe in a race in future!

I'm glad to read that things are going good for you. I was working at the Dalton newspaper last year when you crashed and did most of the coverage during that time (we exchanged e-mails about the Saul Rasin bike trail there in Dalton). Anyway, good luck as you continue to make your way back. I hope to see you win the Georgia tour one day. |

Saul,
you are an inspiration, I am using you as a model for my boys to follow in learning to never give up and to reach for thier dreams. I wish I would be able to do your charity ride, but i am starting a new job and am moving to Atlanta this spring/summer. Next year I will make sure that I participate. My prayers are with you as you come back and kick butt. I will be cheering you from the roads. Jeff Mills |

Saul,
You should go to the MSN home page and look under the MSNBC News block and read the article "Brain injuries a 'silent epidemic'". It gave a sobering statistic, more than 1.4million americans will suffer a 'TBI' more than are struck by heart attacks! Keep up the good work fighting for this cause.

We have been following your recovery for many months now and it was quite a thrill to meet you at the airport (baggage claim). We were so excited to hear about how many hours you logged in CA and the tremendous progress you have made.
We will see you at the Raisin Hope Ride.

Hola Saul, Your awesome and I just got back from watching you in the Tour California and I also just got a Raisin Hell Bracelet. I've been watching your auction and was wondering if you going to auction any authentic team gear off? I saw some of you and your team wearing black rain vests and other cool team stuff. I keep my eye out. Best of Luck you Stud! Hoping your bracelets make it as big as Lance's did.

Hello Saul,
I have read youre story in a dutch cycling mag. I knew about it, but that article really caught me. I am amazed of what you did, and I think it wil inspire many many people, also people who didn't crashed hard or something. I also admire Lance Armstrong, you two are really heros and just as with Lance, I think youre comeback is youre greatest victory! You have my respect, and I wish/hope I have just a little bit af youre courage.
Remember that youre vicotry isn't by crossing the finish line, but by crossing the starting line!!!
Greetz, and a lot of succes on and off the bike! Maybe I will ride with you in a team in the future (as cyclist or as teammanager. who knows?!!  )
Au revoir,
