Although a local of San Luis Obispo, Stephen Leece of Team Jamis Hagens Berman has spent a long time living in Santa Barbara attending UCSB as well as participating in the collegiate cycling program. Needless to say, it is a very special stage start for him today in Santa Barbara. Here is a photo of him with former pro and UCSB cycling coach Cody O'Reilly and Stephen's mother who has been following the race since Stage 1.share this photo
