Sea Otter Classic to Add Professional Gravel Race

Sea Otter Classic to Add Professional Gravel Race

Gravel bikes have taken over the Sea Otter trade show in recent years. So, it was only a matter of time before the Sea Otter Classic added a gravel race to its schedule of professional racing.

The 2020 Sea Otter Classic will feature a gravel race on the Fort Ord National Monument. The Gravel Race will feature a UCI/USAC Professional wave for women and men as well as age group categories.

No course map yet, but the event is planned to be around 30 to 40 miles. I would guess the course might look something like the old XC mountain bike course. The short course will definitely attract an interesting mix of equipment choices.

The Sea Otter Gravel Race takes place on Sunday, April 19.  More info at seaotterclassic.com.
