Sea Otter Classic

The 2010 Sea Otter Classic is the 20th annual event.

The mountain bike events include the cross-country, dual slalom, Super D and downhill. Road cyclists enjoy road racing, a criterium, and a circuit race on the Laguna Seca Raceway. For those who want to take a less competitive route, Sea Otter offers a mMountain bike tour and a new-for-2010 Gran Fondo.
