I arrived in San Fran on Wednesday evening and got picked up by Brandon and Josh from Freehub Mag. The chevy cargo van must weigh in at 30 tons because its full of 5 bikes, thousands of magazines, and a few cases PBR. Can't forget that. We ended up camping in a strawberry field off highway 1 that night due to overpriced Cali hostels and hotels. Who wants to pay $40 to do the same thing at a camp ground. INSIDER SECRET: The KOA camp ground off high way 1 just North of the Santa Cruz state line is da bomb. It's a mix between a private golf course club house and a camp ground. It's loaded with saunas,outdoor private showers, and electricity! After freshening up, thank you KOA, we headed to Sea Otter Classic in Monterey and set up the booth. The booth spot is right across from the SRAM guys and on the perfect corner. You really couldn't ask for a better spot. I managed to shoot a few photos with the little battery that I had of the dual slalom qualifiers. No Pro's tho. Freehub got the invite to the private SRAM product release party. AKA Pros, Beautiful California ladies and one of the best dinners that i've had in a while(salmon). Enough said there. And free beer. Thanks SRAM you throw a hell of a party.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Cheers
Many hostels have family accommodations with self-contained bathing facilities, similar to budget hotels.
