Battle for the prize.

Man sundays big event was tough, the 38 mile Sea Otter Classic XC. A lot of crashes, attacks and brutal dust swirling winds made the race seem even harder than I knew it was. I fought the good fight though and was rewarded. Thought I was suffering bad and losing energy on the last lap I stuck it out. After I got dropped by Frishy, Toulose and Barry Wicks I figured my GC would slip away into the teens but I held off Chris Snedon (Kona) at the line and it was just what I needed for 10th place. Not shabby. All in all it was the most fun I have had at Sea Otter yet.

Erin and I enjoyed a great team dinner at Monterey Joe's with the Trek/VW team. We had some special guests including Bontrager's own product managers and engineers including Matt Prest, Bill Miller, Tyler Philger (last years team manager), T-Brown, John Mobily from Volkswagen, ZaP and Walker Ferguson. I was really surprise to see Walker since he has been off the radar for some time. I think he is going to do some late season races. And it was allso really cool to talk tech with the product guys.

Sea Otter has so much going on I would love to be there as a spectator but even then it would still be imposible to take it all in.

Enjoy the ride.

Hey Jeremiah! Great site, man! Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that it was great to finally meet you and get to spend some time with you (and Erin and meet the Trek/VW Team) at Sea Otter! I really enjoyed watching you fly on your bike and that your most excellent attitude on it were really inspiring! Keep up the hard work and the feedback...let's make some kickin tires this year!
