Galesburg, Mi. – Our intrepid hero, the Sharkman, could feel the crisp air of fall as he mounted his titanium steed at the Shark Cove on Saturday morning. In the dim light of the fall morning, the rear light flashing on the back of Sharkman’s helmet, he thought of what a great season of fantastic weather this has been as he rode to the start. One might complain about the cool temps, but from a Minion perspective, this was yet another fine Saturday morning for riding a bike!
Though it is Youth Soccer season, and it is getting cooler, the crowds keep coming out! 12 riders saddled up for the start and when Knute, aka Knute jumped on after the Honorary Sharkman Sprint, it made 13 Minions in the peleton. Even Wildman had returned to the Minion Nation after a long absense!
The pace was again extremely fast through the Country Club section up to the Col de Norte. Danimal was particularly on fire as he picked off sprints in the early going and pushed the pace from the front to near mach 2 speeds.
Even Sharkman was feeling spunky and rode the wheel of his lead out guy, Brewman, to take the Inlet sprint and then followed that by taking the G ave. Sprint after Danimal faded just before the stop ahead. When was the last time Sharkman took two sprints in a row? Maybe, like…..never?!?
As the peleton formed up for the finish, the Minions were very bunched up at the top of the final hill. Everyone was waiting for someone to make a move when Wolf King decided to jump on the inside and catch everyone off guard. Knute, aka Knute, was the first to respond and went after the rabid Wolf. This started a chain reaction response as the pace rapidly picked up.
With Several Minions in pursuit, the battle between Knute and Wolf King went down to the wire. Knute took the tape with Wolf King on his wheel and B-Rod taking the third spot on the podium with a cast of Minions right behind them!
Of course the real winner on the day was Sharkman as he was the only rider to be wearing a Tony the Tiger Jersey on Tony the Tiger Jersey Day, thus, he was declared the real winner.
At the Klutch, Wildman came bearing gifts! Wildman had been an Official at the Tour of Missouri and had swag for everyone! You heard that right, an OFFICIAL at the Tour of Missouri! He actually had a Tour of Missouri T shirt for the Sharkman, along with water bottles, wrist bands and energy jelly beans for everyone! Thanks Wildman!
But to top it all, Wolf King bought koffee! You heard that right! Wolf King. When was the last time Wolf King bought Koffee? Maybe, like……never?!? Thanks Wolf King!
It was a great day in the Minion Nation!
But it just get’s better!
