Completing a USA Cycling National event is as much about the journey as it is the race. The cyclist must elevate their racing category to a 3 or higher, pay the expensive entry fee, and drive for several hours, if not all day, to the event. In other words those that race these are committed, taking their results very serious. Diablo Cycling's John Lichtenberg and Jeff Abitz showed up with the goal of finishing on the lead lap...no small feat when the fast guys average mid seven minute laps times. Based on their lap times (see below) they remained consistent, never "letting off the gas". Here are their results: Masters 55-59 (50 total) Jeff Abitz - 31st (lead lap finisher) Lap times: 8:25 7:59 7:58 8:01 7:59 Full Results: legacy.usacycling.org/results/?permit=2023-10796 Masters 60-64 (46 total) John Lichtenberg - 33rd (lead lap finisher) Lap times: 9:30 8:57 9:03 9:06 9:03 Full Results: legacy.usacycling.org/results/?permit=2023-10796 Thank you to Fox Cities legend Paul Kordus for the below images: - Jabitz
