We made it all the way to Santa Cruz on Monday, it was about a fairly easy 14 hour pull from Salem, OR. That made for a relaxing pace on Tuesday. Woke up, had coffee, jumped on our bikes and cruised the Cruz sea wall on our bikes, watching the surfers, and enjoying the sunrise. Grabbed breakfast at a wicked little Brazillian restaurant, and headed for Laguna Seca to drop the trailers off, got them washed, and organised some gear.
The Norco crew is staying at a house close to the venue, so we all got settled. A couple went to get groceries, another worked on the computer, and I took advantage of the late afternoon and set my yoga mat up in a sunbeam to grab a session.
Today we’ll set up at a leisurely pace, and feel the excitement build for the Sea Otter Classic which starts on Thursday. You can find my schedule right here! Hope to see you there!

Greetings, Ryan.
I am writing to ask for a preview copy of your film Trial & Error. My name is DaleLynn Gardner, and I work for Gates of the Arctic National Park & Preserve and the Far North Conservation Film Festival.
For the past five years, the National Park Service has been a co-sponsor of the Far North Conservation Film Festival; a nonprofit film festival sponsored by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Alaska Public Lands Information Center, Fairbanks Arts Association, Fairbanks North Star Borough Parks and Recreation, University of Alaska Fairbanks Student Activities Office, and the student chapter of The Wildlife Society.
The Far North Conservation Film Festival presents a diverse group of outstanding films sharing a common theme of conservation and sustainability of wildlife, wild places and cultures around the world. The festival is free to the public. We just completed our fifth festival in November and are in the planning phases of the 2009 festival. You can see more about the festival at http://www.farnorthfilms.com
I believe your film might fit nicely in our festival, and the film review committee would like to view your film. If your film is selected we will notify you and finalize any details. Selected films will also participate in the traveling portion of the festival at other locations within Alaska. All locations maintain our goal of providing a film festival that is free to the public.
If you are interested in letting us show your film, please email me, and I will send you a submission form by reply.
