The Crusher - Enhanced Gravel Adventure 100 mile event is not a race to be first, but a challenge to finish. Such is the theme for most of the events put on by the Non-Profit 906 Adventure Team 906adventureteam.com/
Diablo Cycling's Jeff Abitz and Adam Koenig chose Sunday, August 14th (you have three months to do this) to leave their typical racer mindsets at home as they joined two other past Crusher veterans in touring the remote roads and trails of the Michigan U.P.
​129 miles later they finished in the dark, to the usual pageantry of an empty parking lot...and it was good.
​
Finishing Times (or whenever their bike computers were turned off):
Adam Koenig: 16:47:23 
Jeff Abitz - 16:48:59

Distance: 128.89 miles

Ore to Shore Mountain Bike Epic

Nevermind the consistent rain, 2022 brought the largest racer count in Ore to Shore's multi decade history.
Traversing some of the most scenic terrain in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, racers were treated with a downtown roll out, a course to allow plenty of passing, lakes, rivers, ponds and enough single track to challenge all facets of mountain biking XC racing.
Area rain made the course slick, muddy, and fun (for some).


Notable performances include road/gravel/mountain bike racer Dan Naef with a 3rd out of 100 and
Gavin Post with a 4th out of 296!

 
Here is how the Diablos did:

Well, one Diablo did just that. With a goal of riding until the morning light, 24 hour first timer Adam Koenig did just that, with a solid midpack finish. Jeff Abitz and John Bessey both made the podiums in the 12 hour Solo (is Jabitz getting soft or old???) and Greg Cullen/Ryan Weyers got 3rd (see below). As per usual the DiPiazza boys were there with Sam and Andrew earning a 1st place.
