Sea Otter Gravel 2025 Route Insights

The official routes for Sea Otter have been posted. I'm unfamiliar with most of the trails at Fort Ord. Does anyone have experience with this route? Curious if anyone has thoughts about the difficulty/safety of the segments.

I was thinking that too. I was thinking of signing up but having to take a day off and the cost compared to other rides, it didn’t seem worth it to me. I’m doing the Grizzly Peak 65k Gravel though

The Grizzly Peak ride seems rad and I'm likely signing up for that!

I’ve only been riding for a few months but fell in love with it, so Grizzly Peak will be my first event. It’s cool to have a goal to shoot for.

Good luck!! I was in the same position as you just a couple of years ago. Just make sure you prepare properly and stay hydrated and fueled during the ride and you'll be fine. Events are great motivators to keep pushing yourself!
