Friday April 18 and Saturday April 19 and Sunday April 20, 2008
The 2008 course includes all of the features you love about the Sea Otter Cross Country event and is the same course as in 2006 and 2007. You will fight your way up short, steep climbs and enjoy single-track trails that include rocks, sand and other challenges. You will careen through tight sections in the trees and ride open fields of scenery.
In 2008 we have separated the race categories into four different cross country races and increased to 5 minutes the time between wave starts - this should improve your racing experience.
