The snow and ice made it's debut, for race #2 of the Snow Crown Fat Bike Series with a 3.7 mile lap that wound around the gorgeous rolling county, ravines, bridges, forest, and creek of the Hilly Haven Golf Course (fat bike trails available to the public. See: hillyhaven.com/trails/)
Mark and Sean provided a steady stream of vocal, sometimes physical? race commentary and entertainment. They even hosted the, now legendary, post race party in the clubhouse. 


​Here are Diablo Racing's results:
Elite Male - 5 laps (13 total)
Brian Davis - 6th  (18:13 ave. lap time)
Jeff Abitz - 7th (18:24 ave. lap time)

Shelltrack - Snow Crown Fat-bike Series Race 1 of 4

Silver Creek Park in Manitowoc, WI

Picture
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

Marji Gesick - Mountain Bike Race / Survival Test / Meat Grinder

10/7/2022

​17 September 2022
Ishpeming, MI

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!

 Welcome to Diablo Cycling's Marji Gesick "Hall of Fame".

​After a couple years away from the sport, due to his son's college football games and the "C" word,
Jeff Abitz returned to his favorite discipline with a solid fourth, showing he can still play the game
​(and drink beer - suck in that gut Jabitz!).

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!

Dan Naef

Overall: 5th
