Levi Dykes began his journey in bicycle road racing in 2011 at just six years old, when he received his first road bike and immediately fell in love with the thrill of speed. From that first ride, he showed an uncommon determination and passion for cycling. Between 2011 and 2014, Levi rode nearly every day—rain or shine, day or night—constantly pushing himself to go farther and faster. His commitment was so strong that he earned money through chores and selling his toys to buy his first true road racing bike.

In 2014, Levi became the youngest person ever to complete the Sunrise Century (100 km) in Clarksville, Tennessee. The following year, he began officially racing with USA Cycling, winning several local road races, criterium races, and individual time trials, before turning his focus to building endurance through long Gran Fondo rides. In 2016, he became the youngest cyclist to complete the 103-mile “3 State 3 Mountain Challenge” in Chattanooga, Tennessee—an achievement that earned him recognition from professional cyclists across the Southeast. That same year, he also became the youngest to complete the 80-mile Hincapie Gran Fondo in Greenville, South Carolina.

By 2017, Levi had sold his favorite toys and saved to purchase his first carbon fiber race bike. He began formal training, focusing on cardiovascular fitness, race tactics, and bike handling skills. His dedication paid off in 2018, when, at just 13 years old, he won the Tennessee State Championship Road Race. The following year, Levi dominated the state cycling scene, winning the 13–18 age division at the Sunny King Juniors Criterium—which qualified him for the National Talent ID Camp—and earning victories in the Tennessee State Championship Road Race, Individual Time Trial, and Criterium. He also captured silver medals in both the Amateur Road National Championship Road Race and Individual Time Trial in Hagerstown, Maryland.

In 2020, at age 14, Levi entered the racing season with intense training—riding 8–10 hours a week and logging hundreds of miles, along with regular gym workouts. Already competitive with some of the fastest cyclists in the Southeast, his goals for the year included defending all three of his state titles and excelling at the National Championships. Looking ahead, Levi’s long-term ambition is to become an international professional cyclist and compete in the World Tour, with dreams of winning a World Tour stage race or classic event.

Isaac has also set all-time Southeastern division records for his age group in the 800 and 1500 freestyle, and broken ESSZ sectional records in the 200 fly and 1000 freestyle. He was selected to represent Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida on Zone teams in 2018 and 2019.
