Maybe you can make it for the ride(s) that BikeGoddess is trying to put together, or the Monterey one in July (I think you already said you'd make that one).
I think you may be confusing me with someone else? Not that I wouldn't love to come down for Sea Otter some day, but I don't think I'll make it down to sunny CA any time soon... I'll just have to deal with rainy Seattle , but heck this year it sounds like our weather has been reversed CA's been getting the rain and we've had a lot of if not sun at least no precipitation.
Congrats on the race - it sounds like you had a lot of fun and did great. Big kudos for hooking handlebars and still staying up. Even if the guy was obnoxious it must have been at least a little fun to actually have someone there to cheer. We generally race pretty much spectator free around here - I might get at least a little jazzed by having someone cheer me up a hill.

p.s. I like the first photo best.
