Sea Otter Classic
The Subaru Sea Otter Classic powered by SRAM is the biggest cycling festival in America. It was held April 10-13, 2014 in Monterey, CA. It really offers something for everyone including racing (enter a race or just spectate), riding (gran fondos on road and trail) and a huge vendor/expo area for demo rides, checking out the latest and greatest bikes and gear or just hanging out with friends. It is a family-friendly event with lots of fun activities for the little ones. Mtbr.com has been a long time sponsor of the event and we saw lots of great new mountain bikes, parts and gear!
For the latest news and updates, check below. The event might be over now, but we have many more videos, photos and articles coming soon! Check back here often.
