Laguna Seca Race Track
The unofficial best place to watch the Sea Otter Criterium
Join AFAIC and Alba Optics to spectate, heckle, and get rowdy at the crit on the racetrack. Hand up beers and dollar bills to willing riders. Have a little hair of the dog that bit you at Afters.
We plan to be here, keep posted on AFAIC socials if location changes due to course access.
Come early enough for a free beer, courtesy of Alba Optics. Supplies are, of course, limited.
