Shelltrack was a fun one. The 1.7 mile course combined elements of cyclocross (where were all my cyclocross friends?) with mountain bike, but raced on 3.8"+ tired fat bike. There was just enough snow to demand constant focus. Look at heartrate, focus on trail, take beer shortcut? and repeat. And repeat and repeat and... This event was raced either as a 2-4 person relay or solo. The first team / rider to complete 16 laps wins...or, is it the rider who consumes the most free Hinterland beer at the beer shortcut wins? Diablo Cycling's Adam Koenig and Jeff Abitz took on the solo challenge. Jeff "Middle Aged Man" Abitz, came in 2nd of 13 people. Adam "Eat my Shorts" Koenig finished 6th.    - Jabitz

 Well, It's been a month since Diablo Cycling's Jeff Abitz wrapped up his "okay" cyclocross season. Now it was time to up the pain duration another half hour, with the first fat bike race heading into 2025. Jeff used his residual cyclocross fitness, and course familiarization, to earn himself a 4th (of 25) in the Men's Elite category. If there was a 50+ group he would have won that...hey, I need to mention it!
