Shark Cove, MI. - As dawn breaks over the Shark Cove, we find our intrepid hero........ sleeping in, once again.

Being self quarantined, the old shark has lost all semblence of self discipline and has brought laziness to new levels. The Shark describes the Shark Cove as like being in Las Vegas......"losing money by the minute, cocktails acceptable at any time of day, and not knowing what day it is, let alone what time it is....." The man is in his bathrobe most of the day just "abiding dude!"

The old Shark was quoted as saying, "it is like being retired, on steroids!"

But we digress.......
Sharkman training in the foothills of the Sangre
de Cristo Mountains!

After driving out to Santa Fe for his annual Spring Training at altitude, and getting some great mileage in, the Coronavirus began to make itself known and things started shutting down across the country very quickly. His Sharklets school closed up until April 1 (and later, called off the rest of the school year!)!

With all the uncertainty, our intrepid hero decided it might be a good idea to head back to the Shark Cove early. So he and Lava Girl loaded up the Sharkmobile after only two weeks and headed back to the safety of the Shark Cove where they are now self quarantined.

As a result of the Govenor's "Stay Home" order,  Opening Day for the mighty Shark Minion Nation will be postponed until further notice.

Sharkman is riding, along with Yeti Boy, who also came back from his Spring Training in Mexico for he the same reasons (check story below).

Meanwhile, Belo News will continue to post any news that becomes available like the following stories from the world of cycling!

The mighty Shark Minion Nation will ride again.....it just has to be patient!


THE BRIARS OF SAN MIGUEL!

San Miguel de Allende, Mexcio, - That legend of the peloton known as Yeti Boy, reported in from Spring Training in Mexico to state that the briars in the high mexican desert were particularly bad this year along his hallowed training ground.

Reporting only two flat tires during his shortened Spring Training, he did have to suffer major "briar burn" as he rode the high desert plains of North Central Mexico.

Quoted as stating "You pay to go off road here😬" the force of nature known as Yeti Boy sucked it up and just kept training until he was forced to come home due to the travel advisories.

Seen here, in this photo, he shows us his scars as he downs a bit of post ride tequilla. Is this a great country or what?!?

Belo News is pleased to report that Yeti is now home and rested up for the season that is yet to come!!!



WAIT....IS THAT SQUEAKY? OR AN IMPOSTER?

San Diego, CA. - Dreamboat, Belo News West Coast Reporter, checked in with an interesting story for the Nation!

Turns out he had been riding for some time with a guy who looked vageuly familiar (editors note - "vaguely?" Are you kidding us? They look like twins!) for almost 2 years.

Since they live close to each other, they rode home from a group ride and talked for a while before Dreamboat mentioned he was from Michigan. The familiar looking rider mentioned he had a brother who rides every Saturday around Gull Lake and the Minion connection was made. Is this a small country or what?!?

Introducing Tom, our own Squeaky's brother!

Yes, our "Style Guy," the Squeakster, has a bike riding brother out on the west coast! What a small world, eh, Bunkie!!! So the two have formed another Shark Minion Chapter in the San Diego area. Perhaps Zyckmann can link up with them as well!

Welcome to the mighty Shark Minion Nation Tom (name to be determined)!

The Nation will save a spot in the peloton for you if you get back to see your brother Squeaky!!!

And speaking of Shark Minion Chapters, Belo News and the mighty Shark Minion Nation want to wish a Happy Birthday to the President of the Mountain Chapter of the Minions, the Durango Kid! Wishing you a fantastic day!
The Durango Kid and his main squeeze,
the lovely Toni! Happy Birthday DK!

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS ZYCKMANN???

Zyyckhmoin!!!

San Diego, CA. - Where in the world is that legend of the peloton, Zyckmann, aka Fabio, Ziichmonn, Zychkmiin, ......whatever?

Since no one had heard from the famed rider, radiologist,  marathon runner, male model, whatever.....Belo News reached out to him to determine if he was back in the State, making his way to his Gull Lake Estate, or was hunkered down on the west coast.

Belo News found Zyckmann sheltered in place with lovely wife Marsha, and son Alex in his west coast lair known as Zyckmann's Estate, West.

He reported that his son Alex, who lives in New York, came out for a visit before the Coronavirus hit and before New York got locked down. Due to the lock down he stayed and why not enjoy the California sun until the virus crisis passes, eh?

Zyckmann reports he is getting his riding in, but is missing the rolling hills of that other "field of dreams" the Shark Nation knows as Fort Custer.

Safe travels back, Zyckmann! The Nation awaits your return to the peloton!!!
