 mi…and an adventure it was!
The road bled red with a train of Diablo cyclists and friends during the
​2017 Brent and Andy Epic Adventure Ride.
This ride had everything going for it including:
- scenic roads,
- some loose gravel,
- little wind, comfortable temperatures,
- well spaced rest stops,

- $1 cookie 4-packs,
- interaction with the small town locals,
- smooth and comfortable 20 mph+ average,
- good company,
- food and drinks at the end (Thanks Webb family).

 
Some rode long, some rode really long, but all made it truly epic.

Participating Diablo team members include:
Brent Rohrs  - 216.7 mi
Jason Gibson - 203.5 mi
John Lester  - 203.2 mi
Brent Williams – 202.1 mi
Andrew Smits – 201.3 mi
Shawn Nelson – 166.2 mi
Andy Webb – 165 mi
Steve Schrek – 165 mi
Jeff Abitz – 165.4 mi
Mike Sullivan – 165 mi

Jeff Abitz wishes to thank Recyclist Bicycle Co. in Kaukauna, WI for recommending,
and supplying the following:
- wheelset: Custom built to perfection by Matt Fischer;
- S-Works seatpost to provide a little cushion back there;
- Lauf Grit fork that allowed his arms to feel fresh after cycling 14 hours of Flint Hill gravel. 
- Teravail Cannonball tires that remained flat free.  Thanks to Justin Michels for the tip.
