Sea Otter Classic!

Finally the Sea Otter is here! After many moons of waiting, we're finally getting bikes tuned up and getting psyched for this years event. I'm excited to say the whole team is participating in one form or another. We'll be competing in varying events from Thursday 4/17 until Sunday 4/20. The newest and most exciting event this year is the SRAM Dual Slalom which Zach and I will be competing in. The schedule is as follows:

Thursday:
8am: Open practice on the Dual Slalom course
Friday:
1pm: Super D. Zach and Dusty will be taking to the high speed course!
2pm: Dual Slalom Qualifying. Zach and I will strap on the full face helmets for some of the most exciting and high energy mountain bike racing there is!
3pm: Stacy, Maia and Cyndie flag off on the Cross-Country course.
Saturday:
7am: Zach, Dusty, Craig and I get the dawn patrol on the Cross-Country course.
Sunday:
1pm: Dual Slalom Finals! Wish us luck! I hope we're in the running!Check in regularly. I hope to post daily with photos and updates, but we'll see how readily that comes to be. Even better, come out to Laguna Seca Raceway and cheer us on! Hope to see folks out there.

Last weekend was the Napa Valley Dirt Classic. Congratulations to Dusty for turning in a very strong 6th place finish in the Sport 25-29 category. Cyndie took 3rd in the Beginner Women 19-25 and Stacy took 4th in the Beginner women 30-35. Zach finished 6th in his first ever single speed race! I however turned in a sad 8th amidst an unhappy body, poor preparation and mechanical trouble, but I'm forgetting that ever happened to be mentally ready for this weekend!! Denial, it seems, CAN actually be a river in Egypt!
