Vendors, racers, families, and pretty much anyone can enjoy the seemingly endless entertainment at Sea Otter, but we loved the amazing road and gravel bikes the most.

The weather forecast called for heavy snow and cold temperatures for Sunday's Old Man Winter Rally gravel race in Lyons, Colorado. Thus, the participants planned accordingly, and arrived to race with a wide array of bikes, tires, bags, and gear designed to accommodate the cold and snowy conditions. As it turns out, riders only got to use their snowy gear for 15 kilometers before the Colorado Department of Transportation called off the event due to safety hazards. But that wasn't before we snapped some photos of the gear that these riders used to beat the snow, ice, and cold.

WTB has forged a reputation for producing straightforward and practical designs that work. The Frequency i23 rims are no exception.
