SHARKMAN RETURNS!

Brewman, Wishbone, Zyckmann, Super Trooper and Kia Pet,
ready to rock the KK- TdG!


IS THE MIGHTY MINION NATION BECOMING WIMPS?

30TH ANNIVERSARY SHARK JERSEY DAY THIS SATURDAY!

Belo News
May 15, 2019

Shark Cove, Mi. - The Sharkman has returned!

You heard that right, Bunkie! The man, the myth, the legend has returned from Santa Fe and can hardly wait to ride with his Nation!

Last week there were only 5 Minions in attendance, causing Kia Pet to question, "Are the Minions becoming wimps???"

Well, are they?!?

It was reported to be 38 degrees and dry! So, where was the nation?!?

Hopefully, the return of our intrepid hero, the Sharkman, can get the Nation out in force?! Of course, the weather is supposed to be better this Saturday and that might help......

The temps may have been cool last week, but no cooler than the previous Saturday's!
But hey, who bought koffee?!?

In addition to Kia Pet, there was Zyckmann, Brewman, and Wishbone, who was making his season debut!

It can be reported that Brewman is now leading in the attendance category and it is believed he has made every ride this year! That man is no wimp! Who can catch him now?!?

Apparently it was a great ride, despite the low attendance and temps and as our readers can see, Kia Pet has mastered the art of the "selfie" and will be recruited, going forward, for any ride he attends!

There was no report on who, if anyone, bought the koffee!

Thanks for the report AND the photos!

And this Saturday is forecast to be above 50 and dry! Oh, the humanity!

This Saturday, May 18, 2019!

30th Anniversary Shark Minion Jersey Day!

NEW LAUNCH TIME - NEW LAUNCH TIME - NEW LAUNCH TIME!

As it is now warming up, the launch time moves up as well!

Launch Time - 8:00 a.m. - SHARP!

Be there to welcome the Sharkman back!

Is this a great country or what?!!?

Battle Creek, Mi. - As some of the Nation are aware, our own intrepid hero, the Sharkman, is on the Battle Creek City Bike Committee and he wants everyone to be aware of some upcoming events and is hoping some of the mighty Shark Minion Nation will join him in taking part along with our hero!


NEW AND IMPROVED TOUR de TAYLOR THIS YEAR!

THE DIRTY DONUT RACE, SATURDAY JUNE 9, 2019!

Belo News
June 9, 2019


Shark Cove, Mi. - Hey Minions! Do you like donuts? Do you like riding gravel roads? Do you like team events? Do you like riding for a good cause?

Well, Team Taylor has something for you so listen up!

Iceman sent Belo News a message indicating that Tour de Taylor has morphed into something new and exciting... and it has the Nation written all over it.   Team Taylor has joined forces for a new event here in SW Michigan called the Dirty Donut race, so take it away, Iceman.........


Ride Bikes, eat donuts, have fun on the safety of gravel roads.  Start finish  US 131 Dragway in Martin. Date June 9.

While this is a race, it is meant for everyone...and any kind of bike can work.  The more you eat, the more time is deducted.  Some of the Minion Nation could turn in a NEGATIVE time!!!  Oh the humanity!

There are a couple other donut races around the country and they get upwards of 3,000 racers, so we are hoping this grows into something ridiculously big and fun.

More info at https://dirtydonutrace.com/

Proceeds still go to Make A Wish via Taylor G's Dirty Dozen Club.  So we still push money to that great cause.

What can you do?

Once the Nation has begun its routine,  could you post about the ride in your email blog and talk it up a bit in the peloton.

Richland, Mi. - Mark your calendars for The Second Annual "Tour for Teens!" !

We were unable to post the flyer, but it has been sent out with the Shark Minion Update!

The ride that has a Metric Century and a Half Metric Century, as well as Quarter Metric Century is set for Saturday, July 13, 2019.

This was reported to be a great event last year and there is an earlier bird entry by April 30, 2019.
