Keyesville Competition - March 12, 2005

Keyesville Classic Competition (NATS #1)
March 12, 2005

Keyesville, California

Story by Jon Maeda

While the Keyesvile/Lake Isabella area of Southern California has seen a variety of weather swings over the years, yesterday's event will earn the moniker, the "Sunscreen Classic", for the 87-90 degree temps that were the highlight of the day. Visiting pro winner, Ryan Cecil & dad Bill commented that it was 27 degrees when they left their home in Asheville, North Carolina, on Friday morning.

A small, but enthusiastic crowd of regulars attended, enjoying the warm weather, blooming spring wildflowers and tasty Zak Maeda-built sections. All riders rode a total of 2 loops on 6 sections, taxing their heat tolerance.

A big thanks to all riders, especially out-of-staters Ryan & Bill Cecil, and Jeremy & Melissa Vanschoonhoven; checkers Maribel Sturtevant, Terry Elam & Zak; and to Zak & Terry for section building expertise.
