Incredible experience riding with Comova Cycling. I stayed at the Cazita which is a lovely studio that was fully equipped and incredibly comfortable and also convenient as all the rides start and end there. There’s a cycling barn that has everything that a cyclist would need and more. I had booked a supported ride where we would have Comova on call incase we had any difficulty but navigate the routes ourselves. The briefings every morning were extremely detailed and we didn’t have any trouble making our way around. The routes that were curated had a mix of so many things – the redwoods, the Pacific Coast, multiple crossings of the Russian River, quirky neighbourhoods – all this on very quiet roads. On one of the days Steve accompanied us on the ride and it made such a big difference hearing his insights of the neighborhoods we were cycling through – If I could do anything differently, it would be to book a guided tour instead of the supported ride. The whole experience was made even more memorable by the thoughtfulness and generosity of Steve and Marion. They truly thought of everything! I would highly recommend Comova Cycling.

I want to support my friend & biking mentor Steve in his new venture "Comova" which offers customized bike tours in Sonoma and across Northern California! We rode nearly 450 stunning miles this week across Sonoma, Mendocino and Humbolt with breathtaking beauty and challenging (but fun!) distances and big climbs...all curated to our ability. I cannot imagine there is another super-endurance cyclist with a PhD and Fullbright background who seems to know every amazing backroad in Northern California. Go Steve!

I joined Comova Cycling's King Ridge and Eel River cycling adventure based in the heart of the huge redwoods of Humboldt County in March. Guide Steve Z was super organized and so enthusiastic in sharing his love of riding in special places where so few folks venture. It was a fantastic trip on every level. I rented one of his fleet of VAAST '1x 38-42' gravel bikes and it was set up perfectly for the riding we did. It's really worth considering not having to travel with your own bike. The routes Steve created were gorgeous and very remote with varied scenery and great gravel at elevations that offered sweeping views and long fun descents. The accommodations were also perfect in terms of comfort and location. I highly recommend using Comova Cycling for your Northern California mixed terrain cycling adventure.

What an awesome experience and adventure. Steve took us deep into gravel heaven in the Heart of Humboldt! From the outstanding accommodations to his wife's pasta and chicken chili dinners, the whole trip was a blast. Steve was very familiar with the area and routes and provided 4 days of wonderful gravel riding in the deep redwood forests! Highly recommended if you want a trip to remember handled by a professional cyclist!

Had a wonderful time at the Redwood Recon up in Humboldt County. It was great to have ride options for the day so each of us could tackle what we were most excited for. It was also a treat to have someone to tackle the difficult logistics and planning that allowed us all to explore new roads as both individuals and a group.

Rode some fantastic recon routes with Comova in Humboldt county! Great lodging, planning, & company made for a super fun trip.

Comova cycling did an amazing job of putting together an epic trip, giving us detailed briefings about what we were in for each day, and making adventure cycling incredibly fun!

Steve's ability to find routes that are challenging yet rewarding is a testament to his expertise. Every day, he presented us with unique and diverse routes that catered to our preferences and skill levels. The scenery along the routes was breathtaking and Steve's knowledge of the area added value to the experience. Steve's support did not stop at finding the best routes. He was always present to help us in any way possible, from fixing flats to offering moral support when the climbs became tough. His knowledge of bikes and cycling is evident. Overall, I cannot recommend Comova Cycling enough if you are looking for adventure on a bike. 🚴‍♀️✨✨

Steve was so amazing. He had the bikes ready, maps of our ride send out ahead of arrival. Maps and App were pre loaded. We just had to follow! The bikes were in excellent shape and Steve took the time to be sure they were the right fit. Loved this whole experience!

Comova is such an amazing business! I couldn’t recommend more for anyone wanting a cycling adventure in California. Steve is the consummate host/guide and will ensure riders of all abilities will have an amazing time. Planning a cycling getaway at the Cazita in the Russian River should be a must do for any Bay Area cyclist.
