August 5, 2023 New Glarus, WI Presented by the Brazen Dropouts Cycling Team www.brazendropouts.org/ www.brazendropouts.org/road-race For race details see: www.brazendropouts.org/road-race After their recent podium results at the WI State Criterium weeks prior, it was time for Diablo Cycling's "Triple Threat" to report for duty at the WI State ROAD Championships. Again their teamwork paid off. Andy Webb and Jon Lester (Gryphon Velo) attacked from the start. This broke up, and wore down the field. Dan Naef, forced to cover an attacking Donkey Label guy, found himself catching Andy and Jon during the middle of, the last of four, laps. Pulling ahead on the final climbs earned Dan Naef the title of 2023 WI State Road Race Champion! Job done, Andy Webb and Brian Davis rolled in with satisfaction.

Diablo Cycling's Dan Naef and John Lichtenberg raced Indiana's premier gravel century. This sold out (800) event includes distances of 100, 80, or 44 miles. It had all the gravely things...old bridges, woods, creeks, and farm fields. For further description, see the You Tubes below, and link above. Dan returned, finding himself again on the podium. In his words: "100% would recommend checking this event out! Racing with (former professional basketball player) Reggie Miller was a sweet bonus!". John's big miles this year, has allowed him to expand his racing disciplines to now include long gravel events. 45 minute cyclocross to five hour gravel is a big deal.

With the quickly approaching Wausau 12 hour solo wausau24.com/ on July 29th, Jeff Abitz needed to start ramping up his woods miles. After six hours of hot, thick air and varied single track terrain, he finished 3rd of 13 in the Men's Mid Solo category. See short commentary and lesson below, if interested. Full Results: www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=319573 In Jeff's words "See highlighted green where I caught the leader. See highlighted yellow were a slow speed tip over moved my shift controller enough, preventing downshifting (lever was bumping the brake lever). Like the hot, tired, dehydrated fool I was, I thought somehow my derailleur Bluetooth "disconnected". After minutes of finally finding the reset procedure on the WWW, my attempt to restore shifting was unsuccessful. So I single speeded (highest gear) a few minutes, which was almost impossible, when DUH! All I need to to do was rotate the shifter! Shifting restored, I rode as fast as I could but it wasn't enough. Lesson learned: When faced with peril, think calmly and rationally. I usually do but that day I did not. - Jabitz
