The 20th Aniversary of Sea Otter is now behind us. It sure was fun showing all the new stuff to both new and old friends. Mike, Matt and I had a blast meeting all the Salsa rider's. Here are just a few Salsa Amigos we encountered.
Alec Miller is one fast 11 year old. HIs amazingly light and fast 14" MotoRapido helped him capture a 4th place finish. This kid is fast. Watch for him in cross season too as his Salsa riding dad built him a Chili Con Crosso as well.
Bryan Cole of Clif Bar stopped by with his adventure touring El Mariahchi. Sweet set up.
Kelly Stephens sure seemed to be having a lot of fun with his Mamasita. Thanks for the laughs Kelly.
Beyond the great folks, we also got to do a little riding and a little shooting. Kid Riemer taught me a lot last week. Here are a couple of fun shots from my camera.
Took a rest stop in a field of purple flowes.
Here, Matt and Mike pedal onward past more wildeflowers.
This section of singletrack was on course at Sea Otter. It really is a beautiful stretch of trail. We caught it late in the day after set up. I loved the long shadows and the vibrant colors.
So...That's a wrap on Sea Otter 2010.

Sea Otter is in full swing. Racing going on all over the place. All sorts of bikers, young and old. Beautiful weather this year at this point. Fingers crossed for more. We thought we'd share a few more photos from the trip.
Enjoy your weekend.

Thursday at Sea Otter is typically the slowest day of the event. It is a work day, the racing is just getting going, and some vendors are still setting up. That said, it is still a fun day.
We get to meet a lot of Salsa fans and just bike fans in general. We also get a chance to catch up with friends from other companies that we only see when at events.
Attached are some pics from the last two days. Yes...we met some fun people...but we also got some riding in!

Enjoy your day folks.
