Long time Ore to Shore veteran Brian Hansen and second attempter Jeff Abitz, returned to the wicked (not a UP word) fast mountain bike race up in the MI UP Mining Country. 

Brian again made the top 3 age group podium, with a strong 2nd!

Jeff slipped to 9th, from last year, despite only riding 1:24 slower, in muddier conditions. 
He had identical average heart rates (161 average, 175 maximum) as last year. People were just faster. 

Jeff and Brian will return to these areas, in the upcoming Marji Gesick 906adventureteam.com/mountain-bike-events/marji-gesick/ race September 21st.  I say "areas" because where the O2S tends to take the easy route, the Marji ALWAYS takes the hardest route! 

Here is how the Diablos did:
Hard Rock (48 miles) 693 total

55 to 59 Male (56 total)
Brian Hansen - 2nd, 69th overall
Jeff Abitz - 9th , 116th overall
