Hey everyone,

Steven Davis is a Cat 1 racer from California that rides for the the Spy Elite Cycling Team. He has been traveling for the summer racing and racking up points and experience in his efforts to jump up into the Pro Ranks. He has been on the road since June 1st racing: Nevada City, Mt. Hood Classic, Baker City Classic, High Desert Omnium, Redmond, and this coming week The Cascade Classic.

He is looking to come to CO for the month of August, racing the Salida Classic, a RR and Crit near Glenwood Springs, then another Stage Race in Steamboat. After the CO tour, he'll be looking to race a 6 day stage race in Tobago/Trinidad. He's hoping that CO will give him the quality training, racing, and hopeful exposure that he's looking to gain, in order to race as a Pro in 2014.

As you can imagine, all that traveling and racing is expensive and Steven has been able to get housing along the way to help defray the costs. Would anyone in our community be interested housing Steven while he comes to race in the Salida Classic? It would be an amazing opportunity to see a few days in the life of an elite racer and help a guy out that you may one day see racing in the Tour de France.

Email Steven if you're able to help: Sjdst6@gmail.com

Cheers,

Thank you very much for your rapid response.

I am a Cat 1 racer who has been on the road since June 1st racing: Nevada City, Mt. Hood Classic, Baker City Classic, High Desert Omnium, Redmond, and this coming week The Cascade Classic. I have been fortunate enough to score host housings all along the way thus far.

I am looking to come to CO for the month of August, racing your stage race, a RR and Crit near Glenwood Springs, then another SR in Steamboat. After the CO tour, I am looking to race the 6 day stage race in Tobago/Trinidad. CO will give me the quality training, racing, and hopeful exposure that I am looking to gain, in order to race as a Pro in 2014.

I am now beginning to try and line up host housing for my events in CO.

If you would like to look me up and find a little bit more about me, Facebook: Steven Davis Spy Elite Cycling.

Thank you for all your Help!

Hey Steven,

We'd love to have you come out and race and I certainly understand about the difficulties of funding the it all. We have a pretty large cycling club that sponsors the race and they are really active and supportive of other cyclers. Can you send me a bit more about you, maybe a couple pictures or a link to a website or something and I'll pass it on to our club via our talk list and see if anyone would be able to put you up for the weekend. Unortunately we as a race can't do much on our own but I'm willing to bet that someone in the club would take you in. Get back to me with something to sell yourself and I'll see what I can do.

Hopefully it all works - good luck in OR.

Hey there,

My name is Steven Davis and I race for Spy Giant out of San Diego, Ca. I am currently racing the circuit and after The Cascade Classic in Bend, Or; I was planning on making my way to CO to do a little more quality stage racing. I would like to attend your event and was hoping you might be able to hook me up with some quality host housing?
Plz give me a shout. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
