Seventeen devoted minions showed up on this gray, wet morning to welcome Stryker Guy's unknown employee and learn that Stoker's wheel was mangled as he was trying to make it to the start on time. It was explained to Stoker that it is always best to put the bike in the back of your car before backing out of one's garage, though he recovered in fine form riding his late friend's custom bike equipped with a power tap.

The minions tooled up 36th St. at a casual pace given the wet pavement and treacherous conditions. The first sprints went uncontested until the peloton climbed past Col de Twin Lakes where Dr. Dave rode down a break away move to take what would be the first of his many sprints in the green jersey category. During the spin up 36th Bissell Boy took it upon himself to introduce Stryker Guy to his new plant manager that he had yet to meet. Talk about employee relations! Is this a great group or what? We even provide employee on boarding services. The new rider(employee) Joe has moved to Portage from Tampa Bay and heard about the famous Shark Minion ride. Until the Sharkman provides an official nickname he has been deemed "Joe Momma" as in Who's Joe Momma? I guess Stryker Guy has been a bit busy.

The group spun through the CC hills at a casual pace until Chico lifted the pace as the pack moved north toward M-43 and around the north end of the lake. Dr. Dave put on another stealth move to take the Frona's sprint and as the field of 17 moved toward the bay Tow Truck blew his Garmin clean off his bike as he accelerated south.

As they made the final turn south on 37th the pace was lifted to near 27mph with Tow Truck and Zickman doing solid work on the front, delivering the spinning mass to the final sprint, where in a fierce battle Iceman took the victory and sharing the podium with Hutch and B-Rod.

Looking forward to the Holiday ride on Saturday, riders are requested to wear the red, white and blue.

Be there!
