Galesburg, Mi. – Did you miss the Cyclocross Season like the Sharkman did? Where did the season go?

As we all know, cyclocross is a very short season, but one hell of a fun form of cycling if you can fit it in.

Unfortunately, our intrepid hero, the Sharkman, just never got out there this season, but the famous Brewman did and reported in on the season finale and included the attached photos.

Brewman reported the finale had a really fun course on a beautiful day, unlike last year’s mud fest! Food and drink at New Holland Brewery after the event?

Is this a great country or what?

We are not quite sure who the dog belongs to, or how he did in the K-9 Division, but he sure is living the Shark Minion creed; “if you can’t be good, look good!”

Thanks Brewman!
You're looking good too!

Next big Cyclocross event is the Barry-Roubaix next March 26, 2011, and registration opens December 15, so mark you calendars now! Sharkman is planning on entering, pending appearance fee approvals and sponsor commitments, of course.



DNR HOLDS MEETING IN AUGUSTA

November 23, 2010

Augusta, Mi. – As previously reported, albeit on short notice, the DNR held an open meeting regarding the use of the trails at Fort Custer for both bikers and horse riders.

What we thought was a horse rider proposal actually ended up being a proposal to split the trails by the South Western Michigan Mountain Bike Association (SWMBA).

Both Danimal and Stingray were present for the proceedings which outlined a proposal to give the eastern trails (red and green) to the mountain bikers and the western trails (blue) to the horse riders. Actually, we here at the Belo News have not had any problems with the horses and would hate to see any trails restricted. But the thought seems to be that the horse riders chew up the trails making it more difficult for the DNR and the SWMBA to maintain them.

As we got to press, we have not heard what the out come of the meeting was but stay tuned for more breaking news as it becomes available.


TIME TO GET BACK TO THE TRAILS!

Augusta, Mi. – Back by popular demand, the Minions will launching yet another assault on Ft. Custer this coming Saturday.

As we all learned three weeks ago, thanks to Gazelle Girl, it is an easy ride to the west park entrance from the Klutch, so we will meet at the Klutch at 8:30 a.m. for Koffee and then head out to ride around 9:00 a.m. Those who don’t drink Koffee (which is hard to believe) or want to sleep in can just show up at 9:00 a.m. to ride from the Klutch.

We strongly suggest parking at the normal start area so we don’t take up Koffee Klutch Kustomer parking while we are out riding the trails. It is less than a mile to the Klutch and a great shake down ride before going out to hit the trails.

Sooooo…..

Koffee Time – 8:30 A.M.
Launch Time – 9:30 A.M. or there abouts….


Parking at Galesburg Middle School, the normal place.

Be there!
