Galesburg, Mi. – The editors of Belo News waited all week to
hear if any of the Minions rode this past Saturday.
Who showed up?
How many Minions?
Who won the final sprint?
We regret to inform our readers that NO ONE reported in
to Belo News. We have confirmed that
there was a ride, there were somewhere around 20 riders, the weather was
beautiful, a few people wore Kellogg Jersey’s, but other than that, we got NOTHING!
Remember Minions, WE NEED NEWS!
So let’s make some news this weekend when the Sharkman
returns! Yes, our intrepid hero returns for Memorial Day Saturday!
As is tradition, and it being a holiday weekend, the
Commissioner of Cycling has declared it Red, White and Blue Jersey Day! Yes, pull out those stars and stripes for
Memorial Day and pay honor to our veterans. Even if it isn’t the stars and stripes, just
wear the old red, white and blue anything! Heck, even Polar Bear can come out with a
Union Jack Jersey! After all, it is Red,
White and Blue, right!
Is this a great country or what!

TUESDAY NIGHT RIDE REPORT!
New Season Record Set!
Belo News
May 22, 2012
Battle Creek, Mi. – For the first time this season, the
Tuesday Night Chain Gang Ride did not have a hurricane force wind to face. Though the wind was out of the North West and
it was around 10 mph, another adaptation of the steady, well-mannered pace line
helped the Mighty Minions to a season high 20.8 mph! Stingray, recovering from a major bout with
bronchitis, Airman, just off the disabled list with gall bladder problems,
along with All Black, Hoosier Boy and Sharkman launched from the Kellogg HQ
parking lot at exactly 6:00 p.m.
Wildman met the fast moving train on River Road and
helped pace the Nation as it moved through Augusta and up the G Ave hill. Sharkman did miss the cowbell from the
previous week, but Wildman mentioned he didn’t like to carry it on the bike.
Wildman peeled off just before the return to Augusta to
go home, while Stingray and Airman put in major pulls. As a matter of fact, Sharkman mentioned at the
post ride press conference that he was planning to contract gall bladder
problems with some bronchitis on the side if he could ride like that.
On the return on Jackson Street, the Mighty Nation hit
and average of 20.8 mph when they got stopped at light at 20th
Street. The speed briefly dropped to
20.7 as they ramped up the speed to bring it home. Hoosier Boy and All Black
pulled Sharkman, who made a move at the end to lead the train in for the final
season high 20.8 mph average!
Interestingly, Sharkman reported his average HR was very low for the
ride, clearly showing the effects of a strong pace line.
If you are looking for some great pace line work, this is
the ride for you!
Tuesdays, 6:00 p.m. from Kellogg HQ upper parking
ramp! Come on out!
DON’T FORGET, WE’VE GOT A BIRTHDAY COMING!
May 22, 2012
Galesburg, Mi. - Guess who is having a birthday! You guessed
it, our own Gazelle Girl! And she has planned a party and has invited the
entire Minion Nation! What was she thinking? Too many PBR's and/or Bloody
Mary's when she thought this up?
No, we're serious. As you can see from the flyer and this
story, Gazelle Girl wants the Nation to come out to her digs and help her
celebrate her birthday!
The game plan is to do the usual KK-TdG ride but end up at
the Gazelle Girl estate (there might even be a Dr. Toe sighting!) post ride for
adult beverages and other assorted goodies. Then, for those that are up to it,
a second ride around the lake in reverse direction to get the miles our Gazelle
Girl needs to ride her age!
Come on out and help Gazelle Girl remember this birthday
(probably for a long time!)!
When - Saturday June 9, 2012
Where - Gazelle Girl Estate aka - Triple Nasty Rancho!
The flyer has all the information!
Sharkman say's, "Be There!"
DON'T FORGET JUNE 16 TOUR DE TAYLOR RIDE!
Belo News
Mattawan, Mi. - We want to remind everyone that the Tour de
Taylor is coming up on Saturday June 16, when the KK-TdG will be suspended so
