Photo Summary of Sea Otter

I'm back in Tampa and breezing through the photos from the Sea Otter Classic from the hills outside Monterey brought back pleasant memories of a wonderful few days in California. It's northern California that gave birth to mountain biking and the Sea Otter Classic has grown into one of the premier all-around fun bicycle events in the country. Four days of bicycle racing, events and velo-loving.








The surrounding landscape is stunning.


The racing.


















Great details all around.


You mean Clif Bar has an energy bar? I thought they are a beer glass manufacturer.


I need one of these flags for SWFBUD and the Bicycle Bash by the Bay




David and Tammy sold Tour de France caps and T-shirts.




The kids had a grand time.










Lots of fun people and fun bikes.




















On Saturday night, the Bicycle Leadership Conference ended with a terrific dinner on Cannery Row in Monterey. Ken Grossman, the founder of the Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., was the guest speaker and showed a great slide show, which included this beauty of a bicycling bar.


An incredible bicycle conference in Monterey ended with a nice photo with Ken. Beer and bicycling -- a lovely match.


OK, now I see why beer is so popular in the bicycle world.
