The 35th anniversary of the Sea Otter Classic ran yesterday with a new twist – for years a mountain bike race, this year’s event was changed to a gravel race, with the riders taking on a challenging three-loop, 90-mile course in the first race of the Life Time Grand Prix.

The top American draft-legal racers don’t have a chance to race too often in the United States, so a chance to compete on home soil is always popular – especially when there’s a break in the WTCS schedule. Which is why there were more than a few big names on hand for today’s racing at Homestead Miami Speedway, including Olympic gold medalist Gwen Jorgensen and Olympic silver medalist from the mixed relay in Paris last year, Seth Rider.
