Three Diablos kicked off their 2026 mountain bike race seasons with a 5-6 hour race effort! ​
We never claimed to be smart.

Jamie Zarda permitted the 1st place rider to lead for one lap (how nice), then dispatched her and and the others, finishing at least a lap up on all of them.  

After his first lap, Jeff Abitz moved up from 5th place to finish 3rd overall.  The last lap was INTENSE, as he held off a hard charging competitor, finishing less then two minutes ahead of 4th place.

Adam Koenig finished in the middle of the results. This father of four is "easing in" to the stress of the long races. Wise.
