Steven Cozza’s Giro Bello Classic
As you all know I am putting together a charity ride to raise money for the Institute for Myeloma and Bone Cancer Research as well as to help the Rotary Club of Santa Rosa raise money for the End Polio Now program. The www.girobello.com total fund-raising goal is to raise over $50,000. I also will be taking part in this ride and am setting a goal for myself to raise $500 dollars for the cause. I am very passionate about helping find a cure for Myeloma Cancer because a friend of mine Gene Berman is currently fighting the disease. They are so close to finding a cure for this type of cancer and your dollar could make the difference. I have set up this fund-raising web page because I know a lot of you support me and my efforts but cannot make the ride June 25th. Please feel free to check out the link below and pass it on to any of your friends or family that also would like to contribute to my fund-raising goals.
All you have to do is click on the link below and donate the amount you feel is comfortable to you.

Steven Cozza, Team NetApp, Racing To Help Others Inspired By His Friend Gene Berman
My friend, Gene Berman, is currently living with and battling Multiple Myeloma, a somewhat rare form of blood Cancer. Gene was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma on 4/13/2007, and is still battling it.
This summer, I am putting together a charity ride called Steven Cozza’s Giro Bello Classic –Four beautiful rides for two lifesaving causes. I hope to raise as much
money as I can for Gene and others like him fighting this, until now, incurable disease. Research dollars are desperately needed to find new treatments and ultimately, a cure. I’ll also be riding to raise money to eradicate polio globally. The event is limited to only 500 riders and takes place June 25th in Sonoma County. For all the details on how you can join me and others on the ride to save lives, check out www.girobello.com

"A Very Happy Smile" Stage 2 Mallorca, Spain
“A very happy smile, Stage two of the Mallorca Challenge, I won the Sprint Jersey and the Best Combination Classification.

Steven’s surgery was a success! He is now in his hospital room in much pain ringing the nurses for pain medication. He says he’s glad the surgery is over and very thankful for his surgeon, who also repaired damage to tendons from previous collar bone injuries. Steven will stay in the hospital today and leave for Girona tomorrow with help from Toby Watson, Garmin Transistions staff. After surgery Toby was a great support for Steven. Steven’s girlfriend, Jen will arrive in Girona on Tuesday to care for him.
Steven is now probably sound a sleep with a big simle on his cute face, dreaming of Jen being with him, fishing a wild trout stream somewhere in the mountains!

Bib or Drawstring Shorts?
Bibs are a must for serious cyclists. Drawstring shorts restrict your abdomen, making it harder to breath. Plus, bibs eliminate potential plumber’s crack.
Chamois Cream or None?
When it comes to backside health, a little chamois cream goes a long way. This is especially true if you’re jumping back into big miles. Lather up during rainy rides or races. Road grit from the asphalt can get everywhere, so best protect your assets.
Sleeves or Sleeveless?
In the past, the Hulk Hogan look was faux pas. But lots of pro racers have been seen with their sleeves torn off, giving the sleeveless movement momentum. Just beware that crashing on bare shoulders can leave a nasty scar—and ruin your cool tattoo. Also, the rulebook says you must have sleeves to race.
Gloves or Barehanded?
It’s okay not to wear gloves when training. It helps stop lame below-the-knuckle tan lines. But when racing, put on a pair to help protect your precious hands in the event of a fall, because even a small palm scrape can keep you off your bike for days.
Base Layer or None?
In cold weather it’s a no brainer. Layers keep you warm and give you options if the sun does come out. On hot days, a thin base layer helps wick moisture away from your skin—and provides one more layer between you and the road if there’s a pile-up.
Short or Tall Socks?
There are lots of fun options available from plain white to smiley faces. Here’s a simple guide: White socks for good weather; black socks for bad weather. High socks for skinny legs; low socks for stocky sprinters. Bumper-sticker slogans on your socks? No.
Cycling Cap Under the Helmet?
Why not? It’s a good mix of retro fashion and necessary function. But watch out on cold days. Wet cotton against the head is a bad idea. Use a synthetic cap instead. Keep your cap on while fueling up at the coffee shop—you’ve got a horizontal indent across your forehead underneath.
Jacket Versus Vest?
Jackets help keep you warm and dry, but serious cyclists prefer vests because they usually do the trick with less bulk. That’s especially important when you’re continually taking it off and putting it back on during those long road rides.
