SHARKMAN DOES THE ROAD!

Ft. Custer, Mi. – A few of the Mighty Minion Nation decided to take advantage of the weather this past weekend and headed out to the Fort for some sunshine and single track. Wait, did you say sunshine?
That’s correct, Bunkie! The weekend was unbelievable and the Minions jumped all over it at the Fort, where the trails are in excellent condition and the temps were hovering the lower 40’s. Heck, it was almost shorts weather! How can that be on February 4!
Our intrepid hero was just a tad later than normal in getting to the trail head and as he drove in he saw that Danimal was already warming up on an even bigger Surley than his old Pugsley. Danimal, the trend setter that he is, was riding a new “Moonlander” Surley (http://surlybikes.com/bikes/moonlander) that had even larger tires than his old Pugsley! Oh, the humanity. This thing could even roll over Wolf King after a Doritos induced coma on the side of road (or couch)!
In addition to Danimal, others in attendance were Brewman, Wrongway, Stingray, Chumbly, MC Hammer and another unknown rider who went by the name of Daniel. The Nation was ready to ride!
After scenic loop on the Blue, the Mighty Minion Nation decided to hammer it out on the Red when Stringray, about 2/3rds of the way through, experienced a flat rear tire. After getting another tube loaded, he shocked the tire with a shot of CO2 and the tire went flat again. He decided to “walk out” for the third time this season. Stingray has been on a string of “walking out” of the Fort. He has had a chain break and blew out a side wall in previous weeks and expressed his frustration as he was loading his steed into his pick up truck at the Trail Head.
Over all, a great ride and a great way to spend a February Saturday morning!
Actually, it was such a great weekend, our intrepid hero, the Sharkman, got his cyclocross bike out on Sunday and did a 20 miler! He actually complained that he had over dressed for the ride as the temps hit 50 degrees! This can’t be February!

Is there anything better than that first road ride of the season? Especially when it comes on February 3? Is this a great country or what?
REMEMBER, ONLY 7 WEEKS TO OPENING DAY!
END OF WINTER PARTY WITH SPECIAL GUEST, CHRIS CARMICHAEL ON FEBRUARY 24 AT TEAM ACTIVE IN BATTLE CREEK!
