2019 Wisconsin State Cycling Championships

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fast cyclist of them all ... or in Wisconsin, at least?
​
As it turns out, a few Diablo's can lay stake to this claim, and many other posted solid finishes in Fitchburg and New Glarus.

The Wisconsin State Cycling Championships kicked off with the criterium, also known as the Fitchburg Festival of Speed, on July 13, 2019. 

​The road race took place the following day in the land of Spotted Cows.

Here are three highlights from the weekend:

• Megan Lester won both the criterium and road race for Junior Women 15-18, while her sister Macy took 5th and 3rd respectively while racing with the boys
• Brian Davis took home bronze and Jon Lester snagged silver in the Master's 35+ 2/3 criterium
• Shawn Nelson placed 3rd in the Master's 35+ 4/5 criterium

The time trial took place the following week and was also in New Glarus, but no Diablo riders partook in the race of truth, however a few found themselves in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan preparing for the Crusher "enhanced" gravel race (more on that coming soon).
