Shark Cove, Mi. - As dawn broke wet over the Shark Cove, our intrepid hero, still recovering from the “Mother of all Colds,” dragged his little dorsal from his shark bed. As he padded his way to the Shark Radar, he could hear the rain on the roof. Sure enough, as our hero looked at the radar the Skittle colored screen reflected off of his cold pasty face. Rain everywhere!

The Old Shark decided to go back to bed and reset the alarm for one hour later.

The hour went by quickly, but the Shark got up once again and could still hear the rain falling on the Shark Cove roof. When he got to the radar screen it was lit up like a Christmas Tree.

For the first time in quite a while, the old Shark had to give up and call the ride......oh, the humanity!

However despondent, he had no problem going back to bed and sleeping until 9:30 a.m. and realized how nice it is to sleep in on a rainy Saturday morning!

However, a number of Minions expressed disappointment in not being able to ride the now famous, “Tour of Central Kalamazoo County” with the Sharkman and had saved their quarters and dimes to pay for the sight seeing tour.

Therefore, by popular request AND due to the fact that Sharkman will be gone on Saturday, July 4, our hero has declared a double header for this weekend!

You heard that right Bunkie!

Two rides for the price of one!

Friday, July 3, 2015

Launch time – 8:00 A.M. - Sharp!

Tour of Central Kalamazoo County! Bring your change as Sharkman will be pointing out the sites for just $.50 a look! Also, new this ride, the course goes through the epicenter of the 2015 Earthquake! Oh, man, can this get any better!

Since it is not the holiday yet, but because we know American's love their beer on holiday's, put on your favorite beer jersey to celebrate this great country!

Oh yes! Another chance to ride!

Galesburg, Mi. - Not to be denied justice, Gazelle Girl, also known as “The Sweetheart of the Peloton” fought back concerning her directional and map reading skills. Feeling slighted by Mr. Anonymous Reporter, Gazelle Girl had a simple response, capsulized in this illustration.

Fort Custer, MI. - after 4 weeks of delay, the Monday afternoon mountain bike group finally got to ride AND celebrate Gazelle Girls Birthday! Is this a great country or what!  This "special event" had been delayed due to rain, though Sharkman thought it had been delayed so that he could be there!  Reb supplied the beer and after a ride through the Red trail,

Tow Truck and Luke Skywalker in Santa Fe!

 While Sharkman was sleeping in and the Nation rested from the rain, other Minions were out and about, riding for the Nation! (Does this mean the Nation has gone another Saturday without a rain out?).

Santa Fe, NM. - First up, Tow Truck and son, Luke Skywalker, were tearing up the trails out in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Sharkman's winter training grounds! After doing the famous Dale Ball Trail, they took their rented rides back to the bike shop and exchanged them for road bike and did some road riding! Way to go Minions!

Catfish and Dreamboat on a sunny
Saturday Morning in
Northern Michigan!

Mackinaw, MI. - Secondly, Dreamboat and Catfish reported in on Saturday that they were riding to the Bridge and had done 320 miles with only 120 left to the Bridge! Rock on Minions!

Oxito takes second in the final sprint!

Grand Rapids, Mi. - Finally, our own Oxito (son of legendary rider, Ox) competed in the Herman Miller Brickyard Crit on Saturday and controlled the race for most of the ride and only lost it by a tire on the final sprint! 

Way to go Oxito! You did the Nation (and your Dad) proud!

Oxito on the podium! You go Minion!
