Shark Cove, Mi. - As dawn broke over the Shark Cove, our intrepid hero wasn't there.  He was on the road heading up to Bridgeport Michigan to conduct some training.  Thoughts filled his head about his beloved Minion Nation as he motored north.  It had been a while since he had ridden with the Nation and he spent the drive pondering the welfare of his beloved Minions and how his calendar had filled up this late season, and seemed to have taken over his life.

Sharkman reported that a week without the Nation was a week without some fun! And it has been too many weeks as the season wound down!

Sharkman has reported being in a depressed state as he has missed so many rides and October is not looking good for our hero either!  

However, the Nation did ride last Saturday and Mad Dog forwarded a photo and also stating that Bissell Boy was on fire for the ride.  Reports indicate he was at the front the entire ride and provided some great lead outs.

In addition to Bissell Boy and Mad Dog, Easty, Polar Bear and Boatman started the ride with B-Rod starting late after forgetting his helmet and having to go back.  Gazelle Girl joined on at her usual spot and two other riders who Mad Dog couldn't name.  Mad Dog also stated they were all surprised more riders weren't out to ride considering the great weather.

If the drop in riders was because our hero wasn't there, take heart Bunkie!  Sharkman returns this Saturday for the final road ride of 2013! Oh, the humanity!

Can it be?  Can it be the last road ride of the year?

Where did the season go?

But never fear, Bunkie, there is still Fort Custer and mountain biking!  Is this a great country or what!

You won't want to miss the last road ride of the year especially with the advance weather report stating it will be FANTASTIC!

Galesburg, Mi. - As all Minions are aware, Belo News is always looking for cutting edge topics to report.  This past week, the Editors came across some pearls of wisdom that had been posted on Facebook by that famous Minion, the Cannon.  Previously known only for his incredible sprinting ability and his lightning like mechanical skills in bike repair, Sharkman found these profound works of wisdom to demonstrate a maturity well beyond this young Minions age.  With his permission Belo News is proud to reprint these "pearls of wisdom" here for everyone's enjoyment……

"Ladies and Gentlemen:

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. 

The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience…I will dispense this advice now: 

Lube your chain

"Everybody is 'that guy' sometimes" -Steve Wester

Just try to be "that guy" as little as possible, and you'll do alright in life.

A good pair of cycling gloves, shoes, or grips is worth its weight in gold

If you make it through life with only one good friend, you're doing alright

When true love stares you in the face, don't blink

I CAN measure a chain to its proper length, Daniel Tompkins

Stretch

If you don't like Billy Joel, then you and I will never be drinking buddies 

Be quick with a joke (name that song!)

A six pack of a good beer is the best lubricant known to mankind. There is simply no better way to grease the wheels. 

Alcohol and/or Success each have a way of making smart people do stupid things

Don't swallow the worm. Don't EVER swallow the worm.

Listen to your grandma: A penny saved is a penny earned.

When (not if) you get stuck in the snow, just take a second to relax. You'll be alright.

"A little nonsense now and then, relished by the wisest men" -Willy Wonka

*TURN OFF LOCATION IN PRIVACY SETTINGS: NOBODY CARES WHERE YOU WERE WHEN YOU UPDATED YOUR FACEBOOK STATUS!*

Don't thumb your nose down on people. You may turn into the person you hate before you even realize it. 

For all I know, this may all be a bunch of bull crap, but trust me on the sunscreen."

the Cannon

Is this great stuff or what?  Who knew the guy was a philosopher? What did we tell you?

Where else can you get this type of life knowledge?  Only in Belo News, that's where, Bunkie!  

Thanks Cannon!  Keep this stuff coming!
