Sea Otter Here I Come

This weekend is the infamous Sea Otter Classic Bike Festival in Monterey CA. It's going to be my 1st race on a geared bike ever so I'm pretty excited. The field as of yesterday was up near 150 pros registered. Now that's a bike race! The 38mi course is a true test of knowing your body and racing smart. It's short enough to go really fast but long enough to hurt you, so you have to play it safe. It's almost like a road race on dirt. Last year this was definitely my hardest and most memoriable event. I got to race in a 65 person single speed field and podium with a past olympian, it was awesome. This time I am just trying to do well in such a talented field. These are the types of races that teach you how to grow as a cyclist so it's going to be exciting. Keep you posted as time tells...
