Race the Lake 2019

8/29/2019

0 Comments

 
Brent Williams podium
It was a banner day for Diablo Cycling at this year's edition of Race the Lake.

Everyone walked away with their skin intact (for the most part, but definitely better than last year) and some even walked away with podiums and sweet, sweet cash prizes.

Here's how the racers in Wave 1 fared:
  • Brent Williams - 3rd
  • Brian Davis - 9th
  • Andy Webb - 12th
  • John Robertson - 22nd
  • Jon Lester - 25th (WINNER OF THE HIGH CLIFF PRIME!)

Those results were powered by awesome teamwork, as the Diablos were the best represented team!

For a recap of the race, Check out Brian's recap video and subscribe to his YouTube channel:
Of course, many other Diablo's participated in the event, which Brian describes as an "88 mile individual time trial."

The full results can be found here, but one other rider who did not "race" stands out, and he is none other than the mythical Jabitz. As training for the upcoming Marji Gesick 200, he did Race the Lake on his fat bike and won the category!
Jabitz podium
An amazing day all around and a special shout out to The Recyclist Bicycle Company and our other sponsors for helping with rider support and bottle exchanges.

A Legend Grows at the 2019 USA Cycling Masters Road Nationals

8/21/2019

Jon Lester podium
If you find yourself competing in anything with the word "Nationals" in the title, you can be assured that you're in the highest echelon of talent.

In early August, the ultra-talented Andy Webb and Jon Lester traveled to Colorado Springs to compete in the 2019 USA Cycling Masters Road Nationals races and they returned with some hardware!
Bikes in hotel beds
Jon Lester placed third in the time trial for 40-44 age category with a time of 51:01.11! Equally as impressive is how close the podium was, as first place finished in 50:35.17 and fifth was 52:51.72.

Andy finished 14th in his race of truth with a time of 58:02:52.

To summarize how deep they went to crush a nearly hour-long effort, both were feel the effects the following day and did not finish the road race. That doesn't tell the whole story, though, as Jon made some valiant moves to bridge before finally running out of gas.
Jon and Andy at the finish line
Whereas Jon's specialty is long, steady efforts, Andy excels at punchy crit racing.

He finished 21st out of the 35 riders who crossed the finish line, which was the 6th highest placing for a Cat 2 rider.

Jon was happy with his bronze, so he rode gravel instead. The laid-back nature of riding crushed stone is much more appealing than the maniacal antics of criteriums, anyways.

Hats (or caps, but definitely not helmets) go off to both gentleman for representing Diablo Cycling and all the wonderful sponsors who support the team!
