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, California”) .

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/

We appreciated reading ONE BIKE, ONE WHEEL, ONE STORY: THE JOURNEY OF TANNUS AND "BICICLETAS SIN FRONTERAS”: https://tannustires.com/en/tannus-blog/tannus-bicicletas-sin-fronteras/ “A bicycle changes lives. And a bicycle that never breaks down, does it even more.”

Thank you to Ryan of Tannus America for showing us the Tannus Armour tire liner at Monterey County’s Sea Otter Classic, and for his April 11 gift of a cycling cap in support of our direct outreach by bike.
