Grand Times at the Sea Otter

Jason, Chuck and I had the pleasure of meeting a lot of you fine folks at Sea Otter last week. Thanks for stopping by. We appreciate it sincerely. Faces to names and names to faces...all of that good stuff.

Here are few highlights of this years Sea Otter experience.

Airplanes aren't getting any more roomy. As the stewardess on one of our flights said, "Folks, the aisle is only 15 inches wide, and the cart is 14" wide so if you're seated on the aisle watch your elbows!". Nice.

Chuck enjoys the flight.

California sunshine! That's right, for the most part it was sunny at Sea Otter the whole time. The wind can get a bit chilly though. Still, sunshine and giant otters make for a good day.

Miker, Jason and Chuck...and a giant Sea Otter

There was plenty of proof that you can have Ride FAST and Smile on Salsa's!

Emma Worldpeace (gotta love that last name, eh?) rode her Bandito to 4th place Jr. Expert Short Track and 6th place Jr. Expert XC.

Banning Ostrow from good ol' Minneapolis claimed the top spot in the Cat 1,2,3 Circuit Race for 30-39 year olds on his Campeon.

And ex-Minnesota boy, now California boy, Brent Prenzlow powered his Juan Solo to 2nd place in the 40 mile XC Singlespeed category.

Jeff and Joelle came by with their posse to claim the Tequila shirt off my back on Sunday! Good meeting you folks. Be sure to wash that shirt!

Seeing Chipps Chipendale is a pleasure that happens far too infrequently. Chipps is the editor behind two of the U.K's better rags, Singletrack magazine and the singlespeed pushin' Outcast. Check out www.singletrackworld.com if you want to see some of Chipp's handywork.

And last, but certainly not least. The weekend in Monterey always ends with an evening of karaoke at the Brittainia Arms. Yes, lucky bargoers got to hear my renditions of Springsteen and Mellencamp, while also enjoying the vocal stylings of...The Captain.

All in all, another memorable year at the Sea Otter. If you have never checked it out, consider it for next year. If you like bikes, you are pretty much guaranteed to dig it. Plus, you can visit us.

Peace out.
