Presented by Team Wheel & Sprocket Saturday Nov 18, 2017 Sunnyview Expo Center in Oshkosh WI The Sunnyview Cross wrapped up the Hinterlands (five event) Cyclocross Series. Race Director Wade Loberger and his Wheel & Sprocket teamates put on an truly exceptional event. Notable features included: - heated exhibition building including compimentary warm up trainers - free beer from Bare Bones Brewery - a unique berm that relentlously forced racers into the "red zone" - passes through the cattle barns thus allowing spectators to heckle the riders i.e. "moo", "baa", and "oinks" (you know who you are). Today's theme was HUGE DIABLO PARTICIPATON! Brent Rohrs dominance of the Cat 3's bordered on silly, as he scored his second consecutive 1st place, finishing minutes!! ahead of second place. Here he is with a couple laps to go: Brian Davis proved you can get "Zwift fit" and still deliver the goods on race day with a 5th in a very competive M35+ Cat 1,2,3's field. Check out his youtubes channel at: https://www.youtube.com/user/briandavis3000. Jeff Abitz kept his podium streak (6 for 6) alive with a 2nd in M50+ Cat 1,2,3's. John Lichtenberg is the most prolific cyclocross racer on Diablo Cycling. After completing 23 races in the last two years his season was cut short with a major blot clot in his calf. He truly loves this sport. If you're healthy don't waste it! Challenge yourself! Those of us racing State will do so in John's honor!

Sunday, November 12, 2017 Rochester Park in Sheboygan Falls The Fat Kats Mountain Bike Club put on a first-rate cyclocross race at a fantastic new venue. Free beer, a unique run-up, and close racing action, made it "party central" on the hill. Most all our friends were there. In fact, if you race cyclocross, you're our friends! Great team showing! Some observations: - Mark Framness continues to improve in his first year, and was visibly faster than ever. - Ethan Jannsen cleaned up with a win - After a suffering some unfortunate tyre issues the last few races, Brent Rohrs earned his rightful place on the top step with a win! He had the fastest lap times of all his teamates! - Brent Williams got a 2nd, showing he is ready for his impending category upgrade - Jeff Abitz keeps his five race, five podium streak alive with a 2nd.
