I headed out to Sea Otter Classic to take part in their gravel race. Featuring some of the finest champagne gravel I've ever ridden and an unwanted intrusion. Still had a good time - hard not to hear!

Juliet dropping folks on the climbs while filming and chatting along like no big deal! 🙂
-
“I’m going suffer! It’s going to be fun!” We are truly strange people!😂

I'm a lucky person, I've only had a migraine attack twice in my life (I'm 68), but it's terrible. It started with light spots in my eyes. After a while I couldn't even read anything decently anymore. Afterwards I felt terribly nauseous and ended up with a terrible headache. For people who are less fortunate than me and perhaps even experience this on a daily basis, my condolences and respect. Juliet you are amazing.
-
Terribly sorry about the migraine, but, on a positive note, wanted to comment that you showed a lot of trail that I haven’t seen from others covering Sea Otter! You showed some really great looking stretches, in addition to shooting skill while riding!
-
You rock for finishing that with a migraine! Props from a fellow sufferer.
-
Well done Juliet!! Amazing what you (Juliet!!) can achieve with a splitting headache. I loved the scenery. Thanks for sharing 😘
-
Well done Juliet! I am glad that you were able to ride through the migraine. At least it was a lovely day.
-
I'm impressed that you work through your migraine. I find that if I take an anti-inflammatory right at the start of the symptoms then maybe I won't have to stay curled up in a ball in a darkened room for a day. I might even be able to function as an almost normal human being, but I doubt I could complete a gravel race. Kudos to you for working through the pain. You have my sympathies. I hope the rest of the race went better.
-
I nearly skipped riding tonight, but you motivated me to get outside! Cheers Juliet! And screw migraines
-
I went to Graduate school there in Monterey - these old Fort Ord gravel roads were my home course for 2 years!! Love it!
-
My migraines start with blurry shimmering vision, then brain pain or no pain......have found drinking water can help...... Another great video, cheers. 'Ull' east yorkshire.....

Chapeau for not giving up .
-
Thank you for such a cool, fun perspective of the race and event as a whole. Looks so fun!
-
I used to suffer with migraines so badly, I'd throw up and basically die for hours. Less frequent and less severe now, thankfully. Its that 1st hint of dodgy vision and you think, oh no. Total kudos for pushing through and finishing. 👍🏼👍🏼
-
Brilliant how do you film this stuff wow. Impending migraine while passing a hella lot a people LOL. That was a beautiful course; gotta love California. Ok Juliet no self sabotage, keep the mental train on the positive side please. Congrats and lots of love and respect to you.
-
My wife struggles with migraines every month and it’s just so brutal! It’s so debilitating and there’s nothing I can do to alleviate the pain. Well done for carrying on. 👍
-
that's an impressive ride to do without a headache, let alone what you were going through. love the way you are catching people all the way too!!! I hope you recognise how well you did. 🙂
-
Freshening up.
-
Great music choices!

I have only gotten a couple ocular migraines in my life. The last one I got was gravel riding a mile climb on one section that was really steep. I read that exercise and straining can set off the migraine. I never got a really bad headache...just saw the bright flashing blobs ..glad you were able to finish the race.
