Gravel
SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 2024
Break in that new gravel bike with one of the “newcomers” to the Sea Otter portfolio. Good news, gravel grinders. There’s now a *true* Sea Otter Gravel Race in Monterey.
Skip the singletrack and grab some gravelly goodness across two, 25-mile laps with 5,600 feet of gnarly climbing that welcomes both gravel greenhorns and long-time legends. The best part? Saturday’s start time lands in a sweet spot — with plenty of space to add another ride (or two) to your weekend itinerary.
