2016 Sea Otter

[FairfaxPat]

We went to the Sea Otter bike show and races at Laguna Seca raceway down by Monterey yesterday. This is the biggest bike event on the West coast. About 50,000 people and 10,000 racers were in attendance. Road racing, dirt racing, tricks on a ramp-every kind of bike racing, plus the biggest new product bike show with almost every manufacturer with a booth to show off their products. Lots of Fat-new gear clusters, all kinds of bikes...

Good pics and great teeth Pat!

Could you tell which wheel size, 29 or 27.5 was dominating?

Did you run into John Parker at the Underground booth? Curious what his new frames looked like.

Thanks for sharing the pics. Great one of you and Charlie.

Cheers,

Seems pretty equal. 27.5 is the new pair of shoes on the block, but 29ers and good old 26ers are still there...Jason- Unfortunately I missed John, as he was out and about when we hit his booth- CK did run into John and Missy Giove, who was hanging with him. I've seen his new bikes and they are really nice looking, but I haven't ridden one yet...
