For cycling enthusiasts the Sea Otter Classic is truly the event to kick off the spring season. Held annually in beautiful Monterey, CA the event attracts professional road, cyclo-cross and mountain bike racers, recreational Grand Fondo tour riders, spectators and a slew of endurance sports brands (including Osmo Nutrition the official hydration partner of the event.)
Eli and her husband loaded up their bikes for a road trip and joined SMACK! Media clients SportRx and Osmo Nutrition at this exciting spring bicycling festival where they enjoyed beautiful rides, face-to-face camaraderie amongst the cycling industry and a few margaritas to celebrate the fun!
