Sea Otter Classic Coverage
The Subaru Sea Otter Classic powered by SRAM is the biggest cycling festival in America. It is held April 19-22, 2018 in Monterey, CA. It really offers something for everyone including racing (enter a race or just spectate), riding (gran fondos on road or 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 see lots of great new mountain bikes, parts and gear!
