After missing last years race, Jeff Abitz returned to this super chill, grass roots (roots, get it?) middle distance mountain bike endurance race. Goal: Complete as many 5.4 laps of jeep road and hand built single track in six hours as possible. With a couple minutes to go, Jeff Abitz pedaled his aging bones across the finish line, with the winning total of 11 laps. 6 Hour (20 total) Jeff Abitz - 1st    - Jabitz

Criterium Racing is about continuous improvement, both in learning the tactics, and catering your fitness. This discipline has been compared to a "a chess game", where the other riders are to be treated as your pawns. Part of your strategy is to place them to your advantage. Of course, most of them are thinking the same about you! These three Diablos played the game last Saturday: Men Masters 40+ Brian Davis - 7th Men Elite Cat 4 Adam Koenig - 23rd All Junior 9-11 Galen Koenig - 7th Full Results: legacy.usacycling.org/results/?permit=2023-10135 Link to upcoming races: usacycling.org/events-search?start_date=2023-05-14&state=WI     Sponsors: The Recyclist Bicycle Co. https://www.recyclist.com/ Cranked Bike Studio https://www.crankedbikestudio.com/ Parts Depot http://www2.depotparts.com/ - Jabitz

Now that was a good and proper gravel race. A couple hundred adventurous souls descended upon the small town of Laona WI (pop. 524) to ride the varied unpaved paths and roads of the Nicolet National Forest. Riders could choose 31, 71 or 102 mile distances in this sold out event. For many, the primary mission was to take in the beauty of the Northwoods backroads with friends, but for the Diablos, it was to compete! Diablo Cycling Results: 108 Miles, 3,741' of climbing (90 total): 30-39 male Andrew Knickerbocker - 2nd/29, 2nd overall 50-59 male Dan Naef - 2nd/20, 4th overall Jeff Abitz - 3rd/20, 12th overall 31 Mile, 868' of climbing "Honey Bear" (105 total): Under 20 Male Ashton Post - 1st/7, 14th overall 40-49 male Peter Post - 1st/21, 2nd overall 50-59 male Joseph Coughlin -1st/16, 3rd overall Full Results: results.performancetiming.com/Results.aspx?CId=16541&RId=683&fbclid=IwAR1i0V_FFo7hvyxXBT7JcdNJZSyigOiQaPNdYBD38sYB2pZhMoxhzleQm_I    Below images provided by Amber Searer (www.ambersearerphotography.com/)  - Jabitz
