Sea Otter

Team Pass PT recently made the annual trek to the Sea Otter classic in Monterey, CA. It wouldn't be Sea Otter without rain, and there was plenty of that on Saturday. Matt & Trevor got a thorough soaking while pre-riding the XC course, while the girls were getting soaked during their warm-up for the Pro Women's short-track. Fortunately the nastiest part of the storm was over shortly before the start of the short-track event.

In stark contrast to Saturday's squall, the weather and trail conditions were nearly perfect for Sunday's XC race.

Matt opted to race his new Gary Fisher Rig 29er singlespeed, for his first time racing a singlespeed, in the Pro/Semi-Pro/Expert singlespeed class. Matt had a good race, finishing just outside the top 10. Trevor, on the other hand, got a good start but failed to find a comfortable rhythm and struggled to a 28th place finish.

For details of the girls' race look for an upcoming race recap on Christie's blog.
