TGIF is back for the second year at the Sea Otter Classic for a day of laughter, stoke, riding and swag giveaways. After our Sea Otter debut last year, and figuring out the lay of the land, we had to come back and do it even bigger. This may be the best variety of swag we have seen given away at a free ride. Join us for a shakeout ride on the first 8-miles of the gravel race course with a post-ride raffle and a massive list of brands who are donating to the community.
TGIF x Canyon Shakeout Ride at Sea Otter
Join Thank Gravel It’s Friday and Canyon for a Thursday afternoon shakeout ride at Sea Otter Classic.
We’ll roll out from Canyon Booth A179 at 3PM on Thursday, April 16 and ride the first 8 miles of the official gravel race course.
This ride is a great way to preview part of the course, meet new people, and kick off the Sea Otter weekend.
The pace will be approachable, but the group may split based on fitness and riding pace. We’ll have regroup points along the way.
After the ride, we’ll host a raffle with prizes from our partners, including:
Insta360 - camera
Giordana - full cycling kit, caps and socks
Feedback Sports - work stand
Knog - light sets
MiiR - custom TGIF bottles
Better Bolts - custom bolt kits
Stan’s - 500ml bottles of sealant
Tailwind Nutrition - endurance hydration powder
Sweet Protection - helmet and glasses
Canyon swag
and more
