Yeah at July 7 Saul is going to race at the Porcupine Hill climb as a preparation for the US nationals in September. In July he is also going to do some tests with Credit Agricole. I will have an interview with Saul (later this week). |

CH, stop spreading all these positive news stories. We want to hear the negative stuff and stories of Paris Hilton.

Most people on the forum are posting "positive" stories, I thought I could try to post something about racing. Well ok, I am sorry. How is Paris doing? |

Yes, "postive drug test story". Paris falls into my "I give a Rat's A**" category. I seriously hope that Saul does well.

Spectators at Saturday's Porcupine Hill Climb didn't end up seeing the victory many of them expected, but ultimately they experienced something much more emotional. A Sunday morning article in the Salt Lake Tribune expresses things eloquently: http://www.sltrib.com/sports/ci_6323011
Saul's book, Tour de Life: From Coma to Competition, will be in stores this September. Copies are now available at http://www.ThreeStoryPress.com/purchase.html. Dave Shields http://www.TourdeLife.us |

An inspirational story and a great guy. The bit about god sending him an angel is a little schmaltzy though. |

Saul is schmaltzy about that sort of stuff but I think he's earned the right to be. He's extremely grateful for the good things in his life and he's not embarassed to say so. I think that's pretty cool. Dave Shields http://www.TourdeLife.us |

That has got to suck. Bad things can happen when people have serious head injuries for the second time. It is probably the best for him.

Hopefully he can find his niche in the sport if that what he wants.

Wow, that has to be really tough for him. I'll bet the thought of being a pro rider again was a big part of what motivated him to work so hard at recovery. The good thing for him is that he can still ride his bike, it's just the racing that he ca't do...but that's likely no consolation for him. |
