The 2025 Lifetime Sea Otter Classic will be held on April 10-13, 2025. Help from amateur radio operators has been a vital resource for communication in the Fort Ord National Monument backcountry and the Gran Fondo (“Great Endurance”) Carmel Valley Route. The Lifetime Sea Otter Classic attracts thousands of athletes and spectators and is now regarded as the world’s premiere cycling festival. The areas where we assist have little or no cellular or repeater coverage. It is an excellent opportunity for demonstration and practice of emergency communications and help build readiness for a real disaster. Experience isn’t required – we try to pair up new volunteers with experienced ones. If you’re interested and available to volunteer, please check out https://sbcara.org/otter or email [email protected]
Thanks & 73,

Sea Otter Classic Volunteer Communications Leader
