The Bear bicycle race is one of the few grave-lee multi surface races amongst the grid of Wisconsin's paved roads. It has evolved from a bunch of people gathering to finish a long and difficult ride up north, to an all out race! Heck, even Jabitz won/placed it in the the late 20-teens! Here is how the Diablos performed:

Race Details: wemseries.com/9-hours-of-alpine-valley/ Three Diablos kicked off their 2026 mountain bike race seasons with a 5-6 hour race effort! We never claimed to be smart. Jamie Zarda permitted the 1st place rider to lead for one lap (how nice), then dispatched her and and the others, finishing at least a lap up on all of them. After his first lap, Jeff Abitz moved up from 5th place to finish 3rd overall. The last lap was INTENSE, as he held off a hard charging competitor, finishing less then two minutes ahead of 4th place. Adam Koenig finished in the middle of the results. This father of four is "easing in" to the stress of the long races. Wise.

Diablo Cycling's Brian Hansen took on the Driftless 100 in the hills of Iowa once again this this year. Great weather and a beautiful yet brutal gravel course with 10000 feet of relentless climbing. This is a great early season race in a very unique geological area. The few riders finishing in under 7 hours won a branding iron in the shape of the state of Iowa. No branding iron for Brian this year, but solid training training nevertheless.

For some, taking a break from the Wisconsin snowstorms means traveling to a relaxing beach. For a few Diablos it meant driving down to Oklahoma...yes Oklahoma, for the first big "gravel" race of the year. Being so early in the season, they opted to "party pace" it, taking it in as an experience, not just a race.

I still need to do a more formal introduction, but lets just say in the past five years she has established herself as a race winner in all forms of offroad racing. The unwavering support she has received from Cranked Bike Studio www.crankedbikestudio.com/ led her here. Anyways, she rode away with a decisive win in the Mid Course!

Every year the Polar Roll is a crap shoot. We register months prior in the hopes to race the smooth and rolling "sidewalks in the woods". Some years we roll the hardpack trails, some years it is a hike-a-bike slog in deep snow. We like the unknown. If we didn't want the gamble we would only do the Fat Bike Birkie. This year it was the latter, as the steady snowfall and warmer temperatures, made grooming less effective. Entering the single track in the top 30 allowed Jeff Abitz enough groomed snow to ride over half of the 26 mile course. Adam Koenig also "got his 10,000 minimum daily steps", on the badly degraded course. Polar Rolls are "pass/fail" events. Both Diablos PASSED!
Full Results: my.raceresult.com/383960/   A couple weeks prior, Jeff completed the EX 30 mile "do anytime course". Although not great, the course was much more ridable. While Adam and Jeff were rolling and hiking, Diablo's Brian Hansen and Nate Penn were gliding along in the American Birkebeiner Skate Ski race over in Hayward WI.
