50% did not finish the 2022 Marji Gesick 100 Mountain Bike Race. I emphasize "finish" because for most, that's all that matters. You fancy yourself an expert mountain biker? Okay. This course will eat your ego, and body alive. 95% single track of rocks, roots, spikey climbs, and the creep factor of riding at night amongst the critters, prevent most from reaching the finish. Diablo Racing's Adam Koenig spent this Spring and Summer preparing to go the distance on his first attempt, not the 2nd or 3rd like most. Preparations included a 24 hour race, the Crusher 100 (128), and a guided pre-ride of much of the course.

Established in 1983, Chequamegon has grown to become one the most revered mountain bike festivals in the country. Just over 40 miles of rolling terrain that fatigues the racers legs to "jelly". Diablo's Brian Hansen and Joe Coughlin smashed through the gravel sections and slogged thru muddy single track, both finishing strong. Brian had a top 10 category award!

The Flambeau 40 is a 35 mile road race loop of rolling hills. Diablo Cycling's "Almost (future fat bike maybe?) Do it all Dan Naef" spiced up the race with plenty of attacks. Off the front, with his lackadaisical break partner, his final attempt was was brought back with three miles to go. Regardless he had a top 5 and great training for his upcoming cyclocross season!

Professional and amateur US cyclists converged to put on a fast and (fill in your own adjective) show over Labor Day Weekend. The race prides itself in using four of St. Louis's coolest neighborhoods. Diablo Racing's Brian Davis returned to his home town of St. Louis, and his "criterium core", to race the (mostly) "rectangles of doom" (too much in quotes and parentheses?-sorry), involving wet and slick road conditions. He had an impressive day 1 and a disastrous day 2 (his words not mine). See his results and video below:   Men's Masters 40+(46 total) Brian Davis - 19th Full Results: livelynxresults.com/viewrace.php?eventid=10929  Men's Masters 40+(43 total) Brian Davis - 35th Full Results: livelynxresults.com/viewrace.php?eventid=10912
