 The 2021/22 Snow Crown Series last race wrapped up on the smooth and rolling Hilly Haven Golf Course. The circuit had several fast straights and technical wooded singletrack. Fast laps required sharp tire studs in the many shaded corners. Hundreds of prizes were given out at the post race party and raffle. Here are the Diablo Racing results (top 10 noted): Elite (15 total finishers) Jeff Abitz - 3rd in 45+ Male, 9th overall Brian Davis - 4th in 45+ Male, 10th overall (with first lap flat tire) Intermediate (52 total) Scot Rajsich Full Results: results.itsracetime.com/results.aspx?CId=17095&RId=949    Below images can be purchased from www.xtrphoto.com/ : Watch Brian Davis "FIGHT" has way back from a flat tire and "score, score, score"!:

Since 2015 the Polar Roll has challenged the hearty and adventurous. Whether it's deep snow, high winds, or this year's sub zero degree temperatures, finishing is priority one. This year the course was almost all 20" wide, well groomed single track, that wound among the hills and trails of the frigid and scenic landscape of Ishpeming and Neguanee. Three Diablos came to race. Here is how they did:  Mass Start 30-Mile Polar Roll

On what could be described as "a night time criterium on snow", fat bikers raced around the fast, freshly groomed 2.2 mile lap of the Brown County Reforestation Camp cross country ski trails. The Elite category racers averaged over 17 mph, with speeds in the high 20's. There were a few tight, slick corners and one short, "out of the saddle" climb. Complementary beer was provided by Hinterland Brewery hinterlandbeer.com/ Here are the Diablo Racing results (top 10 noted): Elite (21 total) Brian Davis - 1st in 45+ Male, 5th overall* (the man just raced for two hours the night before!) Jeff Abitz (newly upgraded) - 3rd in 45+ Male, 7th overall (fresh legs) *crossed the finish line in fourth place, but due to chip timing...well there you go.

The Iola Winter Carnival weekend started off with a Friday night Fat Bike racing party in the woods. Racers took advantage of the rare opportunity to ride the rolling cross county, and well lit, ski trails (no they did not ride the ski jumps) of the Iola Winter Sports Club. Race categories consisted of riding as many laps as possible, in either one or two hour events. Diablo Brian Davis bumped up to the edge of his self proclaimed "no races longer than two hours" limit and finished 3rd in age category and 8th of 34th overall of the Two Hour Category. Full Results: results.performancetiming.com/results.aspx?CId=16541&RId=602&EId=2    Recapitulate the race with Brian Davis below: Ken Naef recorded the entire race. These are great to watch on the stationary bike. Here is #1 of 8 to start you off:    - Jabitz
