Keyesville Classic 2026
Feb 21–22 • Keyesville Rec Area (Lake Isabella, CA)
Friday Kickoff (6–8 PM): Packet pickup at Kern River Brewery • Pints • Food • Vintage bike show
Why Keyesville?
This is California mountain biking the way it’s supposed to be — raw singletrack carved into the hills above Lake Isabella. Big climbs, fast descents, technical lines, and a community that actually hangs out after the race.
Not a parking-lot event. Not corporate. A real weekend built around riding.
