Shark Cove, MI. - As dawn broke over the Shark Cove, our intrepid hero, the Sharkman, wasn't there!

Wait, what? Where was our indomitable hero?

The only photo turned in.....
Thanks Hoosier Boy!

Unfortunately, he had to go back to Wisconsin to attend a family funeral.....

However, on Friday morning he got a call from Stryker Guy reporting that the section on Rt. 43 that has been a neutral zone the past year was finally under construction and down to one lane! Oh, the humanity! Stryker Guy reported that he had an alternate route but it would add miles to the ride, especially for the A Group!

Holy Road Construction, Sharkman! What to do? What to do?

Sharkman, immediately went to his go to person, …..and contacted Gazelle Girl to work on a plan!

It was decided that the group should do the Southern route and Sharkman would try to get an email out to the Nation!

Good plan, however, it didn't work. Sharkman attempted to send a group message from his iPad, but because one of the addresses was no longer a working address, it would not send! Holy email Sharkman! What to do, what to do?

As the night went on, more messages came in from worried Minions about the construction site, warning of impending doom if that route was attempted! (God bless the Minion Nation and how they watch out for each other!)

Sharkman went to bed Friday night wondering what would happen to his beloved Minion Nation!

Oh, the humanity!

However, as the Nation now knows, Ironman showed up at the ride to report that the construction was completed and the normal ride could go on! Is this a great country or what!

No one turned in a write up, however the Sharkman did learn that there was again, a large number of Minions AND again, virgin Minions! Remember, if you invite a guest, you are responsible for that guest!

Guestimates put the number at approximately 30 and there was an A and a B Group for the day.

Two take aways on the morning.....

The B Group turned in an average speed of 19 mph and has to be reminded that it is a B Group and needs to be mindful of keeping the speed under 19 mph.

Secondly, the A Group had a flat tire and was unable to catch the B Group, which is NOT AN OBJECTIVE!

Speaking of OBJECTIVES, the objective is to have a great time, get a good work out and to be safe! 

So let's be safe out there!

Only one picture was turned in by ace photographer, Hoosier Boy.......but it looked like the Nation again enjoyed the ambience of the Koffee Klutch!

Unfortunately, Sharkman will be gone again this week! Oh, the humanity!

But the ride goes on!
