Mechanicals can't stop us | 2019 Sea Otter Classic XCO | UCI Elite Men

Here's a race from the 2019 season I had not published yet. Sea Otter Classic was the 3rd UCI Elite race for Josh and me that year after the Vail Lake and Bonelli Park US Cups. We did the long one-lap course which was a first for me. I was riding blind discovering the trails as we raced. What a blast! The trail network is amazing there just next to the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca track. That day both Josh and I had mechanical issues. His crank came loose and I had a pedal strike that jammed my chain in the crank. But we were both able to finish; Not last!
