Tom Sauret involved himself in Mountain Bike Advocacy soon after he bought his first mountain bike in 1991 and since that time, he has been instrumental in developing trail systems and mountain biking events in Georgia.  He accepted the volunteer position of Executive Director of SORBA in 2000.  In that time SORBA has grown from a 400 member Atlanta area bike club to seven-state 5,000 member regional mountain bike advocacy and educational organization.  Tom will retire from a thirty-year college teaching career in the spring of 2008 and fill the role of full-time Executive Director of SORBA.
