Sea Otter XC racing tips
Hey Lee, I am 13 year old kid and I’m going to be racing in the Sea Otter XC. Do you have any tips for me for the race? I have raced the CCCX xc race in similar terrain, so I know there will be a sh*t load of sand. I ride a 2007 Rocky Mountain Element 70 with Specialized The Captain s-work tires. What is the proper way to ride through deep sand? How should I pace myself through the race? Should I use a Camelback? If so, should I bring a spare tube/ tools, and if so, what should I bring?
Thanks
Joseph

Good thing I rested yesterday, because today required 10+ hours of working (and a bit of riding too).
Please forgive the exhausted writing style. Look at the photos.

Here are some shots from the build process. It went super smoothly (until the rain came).

Sea Otter Adventure 2010: Day 5
I’m starting to believe success is 1% genius and 99% determination.
And 50% luck. And 50% kindness of others. And 50% listening to people who know more than you do.

Sea Otter Adventure 2010: Day 4
We got the pro pump track built and dialed!
Sign up for the Ranchstyle clinic!
Spots are filling up fast, and this is going to be super fun. We’ll spend a little time on the core skills — gotta make sure everyone is dialed — but we’ll spend most of our time applying advanced kung fu on the Ranch’s slalom, pump track, jumps and other terrain. Good living in Grand Junction, CO. Come on out!
