Mateo Patzan is a local cycling champion from San Andres de Iztapa, Chimaltenango, Guatemala. Mateo is the father of 5 children and is a security guard for a local agro- chemical business. In his spare time he participates in regional cycling competitions in the Chimaltenango area. Mateo purchased this bicycle for his endurance training. He is very pleased with his new bicycle and looks forward to keeping his title as the regional champion for the seventh year in a row! Mateo began cycling 10 years ago and hasn't stopped since. We wish him the best of luck!
