2010 Sea Otter Classic preparation

One of our Exposure Lights displays in mid-build

We're in the midst of our prep for the 2010 Sea Otter Classic.  Now in it's 20th year, the Sea Otter Classic held at Laguna Seca Raceway near beautiful Monterey, California is such a great event to attend. This will be our 4th year in a row that we break from the regular routine in the office and head to the left coast for some social interaction with consumers, industry journalists and other bicycle industry folks. It's always nice to leave New England in the early spring when the weather is sometimes dreary and cold, jet setting to where the grass is green, the sky is blue and the sun shines most of the time. 

We fully staff a booth at the event and display our fine products from Exposure Lights, USE, and VDO Cyclecomputers.  We traditionally also have a contest giveaway every year, and this year will be no different.  We're planning on giving away to one lucky attendee a 2010 MaxxD light from Exposure along with some runner up prizes from USE, plus we'll be bringing back the very popular and fun bean bag game for a chance to win some free VDO bicycle computers.

In years past, we try to hit a different restaurant every night, by far my favorite is our tradition of heading down to Nepenthe, Big Sur.  It's such a beautiful drive and the food is amazing!  

 Also, we try to hook up with our friends from Cannondale.  They usually set us up with a demo bike so both James and I take half a day and get out for a nice ride on the cross country race course.  It's a grueling 20 mile ride that travels through some amazing country around Fort Ord and the Laguna Seca recreation area.  The race course includes some vicious climbs, fast flowing descents and some of the prettiest single track I've ridden on.  The last 3 miles climb up the three sisters road, which just adds insult to the hurt you've put on yourself the previous 17 miles of riding. 

So if you're headed to Sea Otter and want to win a light or other goodies, be sure to stop by our booth and check out all the fine wares.  We may even have a top secret new product from Exposure...You'll just have to stop by and see what I'm talking about!

Peace Out,
