Going to Monterey that weekend to do some diving so I'll be there on Saturday, but probably not any other days just because of time constraints. Where are you guys staying overnight?
Nice!! So look for a red mr2 with the doors swung open and a kegerator spewing suds, while blasting... what? Billy Squire..? up at chapparel b campground, right.
I was going. I had paid for a USAC license, registered for Enduro, DH, secured more Flow Endor shirts, bought a bunch of cards to direct people to a URL with info about Tamarancho, secured space in a booth and bought hotel rooms. Now I'm sitting in a hotel zoom in Michigan with no timetable to return home. It feels like someone is sitting on my chest.
Wish I was going - but will have to listen to the reports from the shop this weekend... We are going to be there as a presence - stop by Booth 443 and say Hi to Mike and the guys. We'll be representing Salsa at Sea Otter this year! The new bike should be at the booth off and on all weekend!

I will miss it, literally and otherwise. Have had many great weekends there over the past 10 years. That all said, I will sleep better during this SOC than I have in the past 10 years, and will be several hundred $$$ better off on Monday too. Give and take.
I'll be hitting up Demo on Saturday for the first time then Sea Otter on Sunday. Kind of bummed all the big downhill guys will be in South Africa but still want to see some people send it.
Is there a place I can leave my bike? I would rather explore the expo without it.

Yes you can do that in the Demo area with your bike.
Super chill peeps there to keep an eye on it but your best option is just to leave it at the Valet.
No problem either way.
And dont worry, there will be plenty O' guys whom you don't know, who will be sending it on the DH. :eekster: :eekster: :eekster:
I'm thinking of heading up to SO. It will be my first time. Is it better or necessary to have a bicycle to get around? I've walked Laguna Seca for the MotoGP and I'd prefer to ride my Sport/Tour moto up Hwy 1 and not burn the fuel $$ in my truck. Is there a disadvantage to going without my bicycle?
Bring your bike. You will probably want to visit some of the booths a few times. The place is so big, it can take a long time to go from one end to the other. Again... There will be more than a few booths to visit again and again. Bike makes this easy
I can't believe it! I made it! My first Otter since 1996. See you at booth #839 rideSFO on Saturday and Sunday at the DH track. I'll be racing cat 1 (gulp) after 20+ days off the bike.
