The Snow Crown Fat Bike Series commenced a little later this season, with a fast, dry, technical course. Lacking the snow typical of fat bike racing gave racers a mountain bike trail feel, combined with cyclocross lap distances. Mark and Sean kept the party atmosphere going with their brand of commentary and entertainment. Hinterland Brewery hinterlandbeer.com/ supplied complementary cases of excellent product. Here are Diablo Racing's results: Elite (19 total) Jeff Abitz - 11th (8:03 ave. lap time) Brian Davis - 18th (tire required air mid race...see image below) What happened to the Master's 45+ category? It was removed from the Elites this year, thus leaving Abitz and Davis to contend with all the "savages". Advanced (73 total) Andrew Knickerbocker - 8th (8:35 ave. lap time) Intermediate (73 total) 6 laps Adam Koenig - 10th (8:42 ave. lap time) Scot Rajsich - 66th Full Results: results.itsracetime.com/results.aspx?CId=17095&RId=1079    Above image procured from www.xtrphoto.com/ Snow Crown Race #2 is the Fatty Shack on January 21st at Hilly Haven in De Pere, WI.

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. "I saved the worst Jackson Mine Pine Park to Jackson Mine Park loop for Adam to experience alone" - Jabitz. Managing to average 5 mph, well, the man done did it!

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! Flambeau 40 Road Race (41 total) Dan Naef Division Rank: 2nd Overall: 5th Full Results: chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/http://www.wi-sport.com/results/2022F40RR.pdf This race is part of the WiSport series.
