Shark Cove, Mi. - As dawn broke bright and cold over the Shark Cove, our intrepid hero was making his 5th or 6th trip to the bathroom. Our hail and normally healthy leader had been struck down with some sort of stomach issue that was wrecking havoc on him.

Still determined, as the Shark Alarm sounded the call at approximately 6 a.m. our hero lay there considering his options. He could attempt to ride over and not let Mad Dog down, who he knew would be arriving at 8:00 a.m. - SHARP! Or, he could see how he felt and drive to the start. Or, he could just get his tired, weak dorsal out of bed and see what happened.

After determining he would at least attempt getting out of bed, our hero struggled to the kitchen where he felt a bit nauseous, and actually started the coffee, (which he never did drink). He quickly laid down on the couch and started tapping out a text to whoever he thought might be riding over with him.

Nikeboy was the first to return the text, so Sharkman knew, what might be his final words had reached the outside world before his demise.

The next thing he knew, Lava Girl was walking him up, telling him it was 8:30 a.m. and he was going to be late for the ride.


Sharkman just got up, sleep walked into the Shark bedroom and flopped down on the bed and slept (other than to go to the bathroom) until 6 p.m. Saturday evening. He then went back to bed at 8:30 p.m. and slept till 10 a.m. on Sunday morning.  


We are pleased to report that on Monday he was up and taking nourishment but still has no idea what hit him. He is planing on returning to his beloved Nation this Saturday. He is pleased to report that he lost 10 pounds during the ordeal and is doing his best to put it all back on!

Belo News is VERY pleased to report that Wishbone returned to the Nation for Opening Day! So it was a huge day in the Nation to celebrate his return!

Welcome back to the mighty Minion Nation Wishbone! You are an inspiration to us all!

Despite all this drama, 13 riders toed the lind for Opening Day and the Nation was not deterred! Other than a text from the Great Dane claiming that 32f is rude!” nothing was going to stop them from getting to their Field of Dreams known as the KK-TdG!

Well, at least Sharkman missed the cold start!

Sharkman does want to thank those that followed up with a “get well” text and/or email. He didn't respond to them very quickly but they did make him feel better once he was again, conscious.


From all reports, the ride went well! Mad Dog took the photos, and everyone enjoyed koffee at the Klutch!

So, you won't want to miss this weeks episode of General Hospital or, should we say, the KK-TdG! So come on out and ride! 

Hopefully, Sharkman will be there!
