Shark Cove, Mi. - That day that every Shark Minion waits for all winter is finally here!

That's right, Bunkie! With Spring in the air, it is time to say:

Opening Day is  here!

Is this a great country or what?!?

Any Shark Minion worth their salt (whatever that means?) will want to be there!

After the photo ops (no legitimate Shark Minions wants to miss the Opening Day Photo Op, right?), speeches by the Mayor of Galesburg, a couple of Senators and Congressman, Eddy Merckx and of course, our on intrepid hero, the Sharkman, the train will pull out of the station at 9:00 A.M. - SHARP!

For those Minions launching from the Shark Cove, that means our Sharkman will launch at 8 A.M. - Sharp!

Opening Day Is Here!

Launch Time 9:00 A.M. - SHARP!

As Belo News goes to press, it appears that the weather will be cool and clear, but if there is any doubt, check your email and the blog for any update. Remember, the Shark Nation will ride in the rain, but will not START in the rain.....well, usually......

Be there!

Hastings, Mi. - The text, emails and photos started arriving in the News Room here at Belo News on Saturday afternoon! It was obvious that the mighty Shark Minion Nation had rocked Barry-Roubaix!

First in was a report for Field Correspondent Reb, including photographs, of the legend that is our own Zyckmann! The venerable Barry-Roubaix racer had finished 4th in the 60+ age group and was already celebrating with Reb, who had also completed the course! Nice job, Minions! You did the Nation proud!

Second up was a report from Field Correspondent Rainman, along with a photo of he, Steamboat and Iceman! Great ride, Minions!

Zyckmann and Field Correspondent, Reb!

Finally, a report from the legend of the peloton, Stryker Guy, who finished the 62 mile course on his mountain bike! He also reported, no photos!

"Wait, ....what?" Sharkman responded, to which the following photograph was submitted!

Quite fitting, Belo News thought, quite fitting!

Congratulations to all the Minions who rode!

See you all on Saturday!
