CORBA board member Steve Messer will be at the Keyesville Classic Mountain Bike Stage Race this coming weekend, March 19 and 20, 2011.

While the Southern Sierras is outside of our normal areas of activity, we know that many Southern Californian’s and CORBA members and supporters will be up at this fun event. The event supports the work of our friends at the Southern Sierra Fat Tire Association, who have been maintaining trails in the Keyesville area for many years. The event also supports the local Kernville Bike Park.

Stop by the CORBA booth, say Hi, and sign our Bike Park petition. While you’re in the valley, check out the Kernville Bike Park. It’s the closest one to Southern California, and is in many ways similar to what we’d like to see in our area.

The local cycling community in the Kern Valley is currently getting themselves organized into a non-profit advocacy group, and we’re glad to see advocacy, trailwork and youth programs extend to this incredible cycling destination.
