Shark Cove, Mi. - As dawn had not yet broken over the Shark Cove, our intrepid hero, the Sharkman, was pouring over weather reports in the glow of his green shark radar. It wasn't looking good.....
It was pouring outside the Cove and the radar was flashing red to the west and south.
It was looking like it might be possible to get to the start without rain (though the roads were soaked) but then the rain would begin again in earnest!
Sharkman immediately emailed Gazelle Girl, who reported that it was, in fact, raining over the Nations Field of Dreams known as the KK-TdG........Oh, the humanity!
However, Sharkman had kake and there was no turning back from celebrating the famous riders 69th Birthday!
Right after sending out a cancelled ride announcement, a text came in from Mad Dog (who else!)....
 |
| "It's not raining here...." Ya, look at that road, Mad Dog! |
"it's not raining here...." along with the attached photo.
Sharkman responded, "it looks like it is raining to me!"
To which Mad Dog responded, "Why do you always cancel the rides when I can make it?"
"Because it is raining! Do you have on your new kit?" responded our hero.
"I want it noted I was the only one to make the 30th anniversary ride." replied Mad Dog with a photo of his kit!
 |
| Note all the people at the Klutch with Mad Dog! |
Sharkman told him he was a sick man.
Sharkman and Lava Girl then went to pick up the kake and Yeti Boy and Yeti Girl and made their way over to Galesburg in a torrential down pour. As they exited I-94 they saw a bolt of lightening that flashed right over the gentle burg of Galesburg, along with the crack of thunder! Sharkman began praying that Mad Dog wasn't out in that lightening! (he was.....)
Sharkman was amazed at all who turned out for his special day! First he was worried he didn't have a big enough kake, but fortunately for all, he did have enough!
Skipper was back in the fold and came down to offer his regards! OKC, who hadn't made a ride all year was also back! Even the Durango Kid, President of the Mountain States Chapter of the Shark Minion Nation, sent a photo of himself in his new Anniversary Kit!
 |
| The rider on the kake is more descriptive of Sharkman's speed at eating kake than riding a bike! |
 |
| Sharkman was feeling the love! |
As the celebration was about to begin, Mad Dog texted another photo and shortly after, arrived in person, trying to claim he wasn't wet.
The best way to tell this story is through the photos!
 |
| The Klutch was rocking! |
A rousing rendition of happy birthday was sung to Sharkman AND to Stroker, whose birthday was on this date!
Sharkman was feeling blessed to be a part of the mighty Shark Minion Nation and for all of his mighty Shark Minions!
There was enough kake for the Minions, and some left over for the Saturday morning Early Koffee Group! Is this a great country or what! The koffee flowed and the Sharkman was paying for it! Oh, the humanity, this is a great country!
 |
| The Durango Kid checking in from Durango, CO! Is this a great country or what?!? |
 |
| The Skipper was back! |
 |
| The Anniversary Kit was on display! |
 |
| Mad Dog arrives in his kit! |
 |
| Stryker Guy was like Superman! |
 |
| The early crowd, before the masses arrived! |
 |
| There was enough kake for all! |
 |
| OKC making his first appearance of the year! Oh, the humanity! |
And it didn't end there!
Later in the day, Sharkman and Banjovi rocked BavariaFest at St. Peter Lutheran Church with Wildman and Great Dane! The diminutive musician even appeared in Bavarian attire!
This IS a great country and this guy knows how to rock it!
 |
| Sharkman and Banjovi rock BavariaFest! Love those lederhosen, Sharkman! |

Somewhere, France - That legend of the peloton, Zyckmann, Zickkmmaann, Fabio, whatever,........... reported in from France this past week. It was the only thing that kept him from Sharkman's Birthday party! Well, that and the wine and food.
This man gets around!
The master of the peloton sent in the following report!
From Zyckmann:
"Yes ! the Bloody El in France- wine wine whine! I am riding a 40 # hybrid in tennis shoes- luckily I can stay with all the E bikes
Happy Birthday Sharkie"
The mighty Shark Minion Nation can't wait to hear all about this trip and his 40 pound bike! Oh, the humanity!
Thanks Zyckmann!
