Is anyone aggressively pursuing a sponsor for the 2010 TDG? Is there a committee? A petition is a great start but dollars $$$$$$ are the real saving factor for this great event.

My wife and I flew to California this year to see the Tour of California. Great race, but we should have been able to stay here in Georgia. Bring the tour back to Georgia!

Please bring back the Tour of Georgia. It is the only major PRO road race here in the SouthEast and it will grow. It needs more marketing and American Pride to become one of the premier races. Let me know how I can help. Sincerely, Keith Kibler

I feel we should have as many pro cycling competitions in the US as possible. The sport is growing in popularity in the states, and I would hate to see such a challenging ride cancelled. I have always been proud to know that Brass Town Bald could challenge the likes of Lance Armstrong, George Hincapie, etc. I would sorely miss being able to participate in the local events that celebrate the Tour each year.

I volunteered for several years as the Tour De Georgia passed through my town. What a wonderful event! What a shame to cancel something like the TDG as it has such a positive effect on the participants and the communties they touch. In the age of too much tv, video games and a sedentary lifestyle we cannot afford to lose such a wholesome, outdoor, family friendly event. Please keep the Tour De Georgia up and rolling for many years to come!

I understand the financial difficulties....but the Tour de Georgia was such a great race in U. S. for an 87-year-old Senior Olyympics racer to follow daily with his wife in their gorgeous Great West Motorhome van. The cyclists such as Liepheimer, etc. were all so nice to us spectators in the Tour de Georgia.

Cycling represents a lifestyle that is healthy and earth friendly. Both are good for Georgia. The event shows we care about Georgia cyclists and geogians in general. Please bring it back.

Bring back the Tour of GA! The Tour of GA is a fun and exciting event that is good for cycling and the state of GA! I am very disappointed that the TDG is not taking place this year!

No number of signatures will bring it back unless someone or some company is willing to put up at least about 3 million gets on board. I know this because I worked for the bike race for three years and paying for it was always the problem. We can still hope.
