Gazelle
Girl reporting:
Triple
Nasty Rancho, MI. - Dawn broke
over the Triple Nasty Rancho AFTER
Gazelle Girl awoke to the
strains of the BBC World Service on the clock/radio. (These shorter
days are happenin' quick!) A check of the weather showed "iffy"
conditions which can only mean one thing to the glass half full
Sweetheart of the Peloton - we're on!
Minutes
before Triple Nasty Launch Time, Mad Dog appeared at the back door to
be sure Gazelle Girl was planning to saddle up. With a mouthful of
toothpaste, she assured the disappointed Dog that she'd be ready to
hit the road in a matter of seconds. (Disappointed? Yes! The Dapper
Dan of the Peloton was truly hoping that her barking watchdogs would
awaken the Sweetheart of the Peloton from a pleasant slumber assuming
she would skip the ride due to the weather report. He would then make
great fun of her [and her sleepwear] for weeks. Oh, SNAP, Mad
Dog!)
A handful of Minions were found in the parking lot when the duo arrived. They were greeted by Nikeboy holding up his cell phone to show the colorful radar indicating rain, rain and more rain in the area. But - for now - no rain! Nikeboy wasn't to be cajoled into heading north, however. He turned tail and rode east back home - likely remaining dry and handsome as ever.
So, eight hearty Minions headed north. Brewman, Yeti Boy, Ironman, J-Dog, Greyhound, Mad Dog, Gazelle Girl and Mike (does Mike have a Minion name??) struck out on dry roads. The rain started about 10 minutes in and continued the entire ride - with the heaviest downpour occurring around Gull Lake, as is usual for the scenic area's individual ecosystem.

Visibility
was at an all-time low. Road crud-covered glasses were peered over
and rain soaked chamois drooped like poop-filled diapers when the
riders stood to climb.
But
good humor prevailed. Rumor had it that the short-lived Queen's
Cupboard had closed the week before. Well, fear not folks, we will
still have to share the parking lot with Saturday morning
breakfast-goers. The Dandelion Cafe has fancy new signage in place
and should be open soon. Discussion ensued about the bright idea of
naming a restaurant after a weed. Thus, the place was quickly
nicknamed the Weed Cafe, giving a whole new meaning to the term
"edibles."
The
sky brightened a bit as the troop headed south, but the rain
continued. As such, the Klutch was not graced with the appearance of
any Minions that a.m. Bluer skies are promised this Saturday as
the weatherperson is currently predicting sunny and 70s. This is,
indeed, a great country.
Wow!
Thanks Gazelle Girl for this riveting account of what sounds like a
wet and wild ride!
Also good to know that the Nation followed their credo of "We will ride in the rain, but not start in the rain!"
Unfortunately,
Sharkman will be gone, yet again this week! Oh, the humanity!
What is with that guy!??
But
the ride goes on!
Saturday,
September 3, 2016 – Labor Day!
Wait?
What? Labor Day already? Where did the summer go?!?
What
does every red blooded America do on Labor Day Weekend?
They
drink beer! So this weekend is Beer Jersey Day! Oh, the humanity!
Launch
time for A & B Group – 8:00 A.M. - SHARP!
Be
there!

Battle
Creek, Mi. - If you missed your chance to see Banjovi live on the
Patio at Riverside Golf and Banquet Center in July, well here is your second chance. And hey, no one should miss a second chance!
Back by popular demand, those minstrels of the mighty Minion
Nation, Banjovi, will be back at it with the three B's of the Biking World! Beer, barbecue and banjo music, with a
bit of ukulele and guitar mixed in!
So
get some of your friends and family together for great food, drink
and song on the Patio at Riverside. Could be a great party if the Nation turns out!
The Minions who came out in July
had a great time and over a 100 people actually showed up! So get
there early to get a seat!
Oh,
the humanity!
Riders
joining the Minion rides acknowledge the inherent risk involved with
bicycle riding and by joining any Minion ride hold harmless any rider
