Just under 100 racers braved the brisk conditions and waited-out a morning windhold to test their mettle on the Diablo Gravity Series 'Asylum' course. 

The conditions were prime and the racing action was fierce. World Cup vet and Diablo local Jurgen Beneke posted the fastest time of the day notching his first win of the season while amateur shredders Ryan Gardner and Dan Albert took top honors in the men's amateur categories. 

Becky Gardner of the Beacon Bombers and Isabel Georgian claimed the top spots in the women's categories. 

A huge thanks to all racers for attending the event and making ROUND 1 a fun and successful event. The wind-hold in the morning hours tried everyone's patience, but in the long run it was a fun day with some fierce competition. 

Next race... The U.S. Open of Mountain Biking!
