@ascentale @[email protected] @bikenite #BikeNite A5 Our immediate reaction took me to childhood! When we were born, our family farmed and lived off a gravel road. At approximately age 10, we were driving on a blacktop when I said, βLook! They poured gravel along the edge of the road!β Iβd just received eyeglasses, and Dad felt terrible that Iβd never seen itβthat gravel had always been there!
BICYCLING-related gravel? It brings to mind a recent road mess
It also brings to mind βkick rocksβ - https://sfba.social/@bikemonterey/115914206212707468

"On Monday, Jan. 12, the Sea Otter Classic Foundation donated four new e-bikes to the VTC [#Veterans Transition Center], bringing its total to 17 since the E-Bikes for Veterans program launched in 2021.
β'While modest in scale, this represents a long-term commitment to sustained impact as we continue to grow our community support efforts,' Sea Otter Classic Foundation Executive Director Melanie Stackpole says.β

Their story has no byline, so perhaps #AI is the reason for the inaccuracy in Australian Leisure Management 10/9/25 article ("Sea Otter Australia is the first [sic] international expansion of the world-renowned Sea Otter Classic, a major cycling festival founded in Monterey, Californiaβ) .
To our knowledge, international expansions of #SeaOtterClassic include Sea Otter Europe, first in Girona, Costa Brava in 2017. https://www.seaottereurope.com/did-you-know-that-sea-otter-europe-is-originally-from-california/ Some Sea Otter Canada events also took place. https://seaottercanada.com/
Sea Otter Australia is set for October 24-26, 2025: https://seaotter.au/sea-otter-australia-two-weeks-to-launch-2025/
Sea Otter Classic was founded in Monterey County in 1991, known the first two years as Laguna Seca Challenge. After more than 30 years of local ownership, SOC was acquired by LifeTime, as announced summer 2021.
Next Monterey County SOC is April 16-19, 2026. https://www.seaotterclassic.com/
