Diablo's Brian Hansen and Joe Coughlin smashed through the gravel sections and slogged thru muddy single track, both finishing strong.

​After a couple years away from the sport, due to his son's college football games and the "C" word,
Jeff Abitz returned to his favorite discipline with a solid fourth, showing he can still play the game
​(and drink beer - suck in that gut Jabitz!).

The Flambeau 40 is a 35 mile road race loop of rolling hills. 
Diablo Cycling's "Almost (future fat bike maybe?) Do it all Dan Naef" spiced up the race with plenty of attacks. Off the front, with his
lackadaisical break partner, his final attempt
 was was brought back with three miles to go. Regardless he had a top 5 and great training for his upcoming cyclocross season!

Gateway Cup - Criterium

​September 2-5
St. Louis MO​

gatewaycup.com/
Picture
Professional and amateur US cyclists converged to put on a fast and (fill in your own adjective) show over Labor Day Weekend. The race prides itself in using four of St. Louis's coolest neighborhoods.

Diablo Racing's Brian Davis returned to his home town of St. Louis, and his "criterium core", to race the (mostly) "rectangles of doom" (too much in quotes and parentheses?-sorry), involving wet and slick road conditions. He had an impressive day 1 and a disastrous day 2 (his words not mine).
See his results and video below:

​July 1 - September 30, 2022
Champion, MI
crushergravel.com/
Picture
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

Full Results: ​https://crushergravel.com/details/results/

Jeff's Ride Statistics:
Distance: 128.89 miles
Total Ascent: 7,650 feet
Total Decent: 7,693.6 feet
Average Temperature: 57 degrees F
Average Moving Speed: 10 mph
Maximum Speed: 35 mph
