"It's Not Your Grandma's Century!" Returns

Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 19, 2012 as our SABA Century returns next year. We expect the routes to be the same in 2012 and the experience better than ever.

This year, the SABA Century will be honored to have Saul Raisin, former professional cyclist and traumatic brain injury survivor, ride in our event. After winning "Best Young Rider" at Tour de Georgia, Saul suffered a devastating crash in 2006 while participating in an European road race. Saul's parents rushed to Europe where they learned that Saul’s doctors didn’t expect him to survive. The crash resulted in a traumatic brain injury, Saul's brain was swelling and emergency surgery had to be performed.

Saul's story is not merely of his miraculous return to life, but that of inspiration, dedication, and hope. We are honored that he will ride with us this year.

Saul's comeback ride at the US PRO Cycling Time Trial in 2007

We hope you will participate in 2012 and help us make the 2012 event the best yet...and remember "It's Not Your Grandma's Century!
