Steven Cozza - A Different Kind of Cyclist

Many of you already know Steven Cozza. I believe this cyclist is special. Some may call him superdomestique. I would consider him more of a pure classics guy or a one day racer. Not a crit rider, but rather the guy who excels in gritty, one day classics with 150-260k races with bad conditions and unique landscapes.

I believe he will win some classics in the next two years and can represent Garmin in Paris Roubaix. He has the character to do it.

Check out this video if you want a glimpse of this young and spirited rider.

Watch it - it is worth it. Cycling from an outdoorsman perspective - which is cycling at it's core!

There's a New Kid in Town

Eli and I went up Poly Canyon for the first time on his "real" mountain bike today. He was charging up the bigger "hills" and managed, unlike his dad, to not dab or fall at all. Good times. Good times.

"Crash"

From "Crash" to "Cracked"?

Hey Raaaaaaaabit? See anything in this picture that would explain why I kept dabbing on our Lopez ride? ARGGGGHHHHHH!

Cracked!

Wednesday AM Ride

Anyone up for an early ride to Cayucos? Start @ 6am at the church... Come on you guys, let's get it going...

Tuesday Lunch Ride

I think I'm gonna do a quick lunch ride Tuesday. I know it isn't the best time for some, but figured I'd throw it out. Leaving Grace at 12:30, roll out to Port San Luis and back. Should be able to do it in about an hour. Respond via comment!

Prodigal Bike

Lost my bike out of the back of Tim's pickup Friday morning but check out the e-mail I got today...

Hey dude,
I have your bike. I work at the forest service station on high mountain road the bike is at the station. The address is 460 High mountain rd.
A reward is not necessary but if you feel so inclined we would be thankful if you brought over some cases of coors light. we get kinda thirsty after work.

We found the bike right by the dam we pulled over and loaded it up into our car. When we got to the station we called lopez lake and told them and they said we just missed you. We asked if you left your name and number but you didn't so thats why i went on craigslist. My name is Stephan My cell is 1805 915 7345 the station number is 1805 481 1280 we are here until 430pm today and we start back up at 800am.
alright brother im glad i could help get your bike back to you.

Stephan

I haven't done a checkout to see what is broken but it looks pretty good other than a rear wheel flat and some scuffs... The guys at the Forest service station seemed liked good guys... and they liked the 3 cases of Coors light I brought! Thanks guys for grabbing and returning my bike!

I must admit that I was already thinking about the new bike that I would inevitably buy (more travel and different frame configuration), but my returned bike looks pretty sweet!
