The event totaled 350 athletes and 150 spectators. Fast forward, and the 22nd Annual Sea Otter Classic is a four-day "Celebration of Cycling" that welcomes nearly 10,000 athletes and 50,000 race fans and other bicycle enthusiasts. Professional and amateur athletes make the annual pilgrimage to participate in cycling's best competitive events in various mountain and road bike disciplines. Hundreds of pro cyclists, including national and world champions, come to Sea Otter to race, sign autographs, and share their racing techniques with fans. Recreational rides are another feature of this cycling extravaganza, including Sea Otter's Gran Fondo routes, which are fully supported and meant to be enjoyed with family and friends. The Sea Otter Classic also hosts the largest consumer bike exposition in North America. The Expo holds hundreds of vendors who display new products and offer samples and bargains. The Sea Otter Village, hub of this four-day action-packed festival, includes a food court and beer and barbecue garden, and pulses with free, fun activities—including bike demos, stunt shows, and special events just for children. The Sea Otter Classic is located in Monterey County, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States. Sea Otter is renowned as the bicycle world's premiere festival and one of the world's largest. - NorthstarCalifornia.com NorthstarCalifornia.com/PARKS Facebook.com/Northstar Twitter.com/SkiNorthstar YouTube.com/NorthstarAtTahoe Vimeo.com/SkiNorthstar]]> Tue, 24 Apr 2012 11:32:32 GMT http://www.snocountry.com/index.php/videos/viewvideo/2578/northstar-at-tahoe/sea-otter-classic-2012.html  Was Bear Mountain your favorite spot to ride in 2011-2012?
