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).
I laid pretty low today. While I feel super antsy, I’m saving energy for tomorrow.
Featuring photos of the dual slalom!
Hey all, I rushed this video onto YouTube.

I seldom inflict P.R. on my readers, but this is such a great idea I have to give you the heads up. From the EPIC press release:
We got the pro pump track built and dialed!
Bottom line: The pro pump track is ready for tomorrow’s shaping/riding session. If you plan to help dig, let me know. See you out here tomorrow!
