 20th Annual Keyesville Classic March 15 & 16, 2008
 | | click to enlarge | March 15 and 16th found a large number of Bikeman.com Team members and a few want-a-be's. I will admit if my fuel allotment limited my race schedule, this race weekend would always be my number one choice. The place has something for everybody. The southern edge of the Sierra Nevada Range, nestled in with an Army Corp.of Engineer's Dam and the power of the Kern River cutting out it's gorge.Then there is the cycling.

Then as a precursor to everyone's favorite season (cross) they offer Short Track. 15 minutes of pedaling then the bell for another 3 laps. And on the last day you have the cross country. For those brave at heart you join the three classic forms of cycling for the stage race champ.
