Ok fools sorry im late...............
im really trying to make a good run at doing this right..if T falls short fuck it...right...because there are SO many riders..events races..

The chosen riders and events etc were hap haggardly tossed into a lottery of sorts for the 1st quarter election by a somewhat of an  un-distinguished group of a dozen or so scneres

Please take your time and try not to barf with the shitty grammar and read it through


your 1st quarter nominees are

Riders:
the top 5 will be inducted 

SIMONSTER
the guy won ICEMAN..and loves to bury himself over and over

ScottyQ"
all around miscene legend the first to go out and give it a go against the best..
although during the miscene time period..a cross state title and a pile of ICEMAN wins he didn't have the rides like he did before and ultimately hit his head in a fall
Scotty still churning out some good rides...and now probably hes known more as a kick ass frame builder with his name on it...

Jeff the Lil Pony:
No denying this guy was and on the right day the King of Miscne cross..
winning a national championship prior to the Miscene catapulted him to a pile of good rides in the past 10 years..the Pony is cross

Bookwalter:
although way beyond the TMS level..
most missed the fact this guy cut his teeth early on in the Miscene..places like the Milford crit the Tour of Cedar creek..ADA crit..Rockford...hell even almost took a state cross title riding Bagmas Indy Fab..Bookwalter was there...

KIDA
Miscene watched this develop from a little squirt racing up through the ranks, to the national championships..to the world level..all inside the Miscne time period..in 11 short TMS years Alexey made it...

Joe Lekovich
although ol Joe is long gone from the scene back in Y2K he was the man that pushed for better races, better organization and a point series that counted.

Jason Swatloski:
The Highlander got his nic-name for a good reason to kill this guy you have to cut his head off..this grumpy old bastard has been around the scene longer than dirt..Like Patton this old fuck has general d  apile of strong teams from before the Miscene days there was the Alpine crew..McClain rollers..then WCR that was full of strong young riders..through the Bissell hate period..and now the EPS squad..Jason's rides are not necessarily what put him on the list but more so maybe his smarts and the ability to lead the charge

Dybo
They call him the Godfather of Michigan cycling...Wolverine die in the wooll soul man and helper of anyone who needs it..

Jordan Wakeley:
Trains like lumber jack in the Northwoods..
built like human anatomy chart...the guy won Ore-to-shore..can sustain a living body temperature in weather that would kill most normal humans and is never short on gashing his teeth against real world pros come November..tuff dude

Ben Renkema:
although he doesn't live here anymore..Ben is arguably the best sprinter to come out of Miscene in the past 20 years..has stars and stripes to prove it..his wifey aint too bad herself..

The Black-Ace:
does he deserve to be on the list? you decide..In TMSs opinion he didn't just bring results to the scene..he created State Champions..and he is credited for promoting the hardest crit since the Rockford days

Brant Hendler:
BMXER from the 80s...Multi state road and crit champion, Old school Norba DH champion a Masters Track national championship..and creator now of successful junior program..nuff said

Queen Anne
wouldnt be right to leave the old bird off this list...
CX queen when it counted the most and nice person doesn't hurt..

Ron Catlin:
The dude won a MTB National Championship at one of the hardest venues to do so..
and he can lay down a solid sprint when he wants too..
good guy too..

Mac Brennan:
made the jump from big lanky ski racer to elite cyclist..
the dude cut his teeth in all over the scene

Upgrades in 3 years..then disappear
got to give some props to the three year folks...
it takes alot to make the move from gunslinger fast group rider to a top 5 1/2 rider...and then when they do..the only place to go is the pro-life..and thats a whole nuther world big props to those went out to seek it..

DC
at some point DC put it to you..
and if your lucky hes your bud..

DannyK:
back in early TMS years Danny K was the springfling king..that dude could ride a break TT like a mofo...
and sprint his ass off when he wanted...
The scene was better when he was around..

Tanguy
This genetic mutation is the utmost supreme ruler when you want to ride 100 miles..
hell aint bad short either

Foshag:
They call Dybo the god father of Michigan cycling...but what should they call Foshag?
I would lay money on it Foshag has more race days in his legs than anyone right now in the scene..from racing 3 days a week back in the BMX time of the 80s, to Mountain bike scene of 90s, CX in Y2K and Road stuff in-between..a couple state titles and still a solid 1/2 guy.. Raced along side  a ton of good sceners, and when you get to know him he isnt so strange

Nate Williams
only thing missing from his palmares..
CX state championship and MTB one
quiet Nate dog doesnt say much and races less as of late cool thing he wins most of the time has a handful of State Championships to prove it..

3T:
gotta admit...
as silly as they are its a funny shtick they got going on

Mike Seamon
10 time lumberjack 100 finisher raced everything under the sun and never had a bad word to say about anyone

Larry Warrabasse
The Guy is a pro now..
but was a Cat3  rider at one time during the scene years

John Meyers:
old as dirt a former ICEMAN winner as well one of the old scene guard..still laying it down today..Good Time Johnny probably handed you your ass at least once

Tom Burke
the Roadking isnt flashy, has a blandness sort of personalty..
not overly great at one thing...cept winning state titles..id reckon he has more than anyone at this time..

BA Brain Adams:
first real honch of the modern age..great crit racer and can win a road-race as well... and now able to fix broken humans..

Adam York:
come on... never has there been a more fun guy to watch..Adam brought something the scene needed someone with balls and the gutz to lay em on the line..It was pure fun watching his flame burn so bright..a couple of uncontested state Championship cross titles and a pile of bad-ass rides..in and outside the scene...Pity the bunny disappeared..hopefully he never looked back

Derek Graham:
Ol DG...although pretty much MIA in the past two years DG was the quite possible the best all around racer in the state..Badass crit racer..strong as hell on the road..and could ride a MTB probably at that time better than anyone..
what DG lacked in a personalty and his antics quite often on the bike... he made up for it by kicking dudes in the balls.

Jason Hess:
On one side of the coin...Here is a guy on the same experience level as guys like Dybo and Docsavage...but he goes away during what could of been considered the prime of his level
to build a career and life ..returns mid Y2K and starts his empire owning the Masters field...winning field sprints back pedaling...
The Other side..he is the coaching and adviser to nearly half of the guys he competes with giving real world knowledge and training help to many...

Docsavage:
Holy cow does that guy ever age? arcved when they had wooden rims and no gears.. rides less than most think and will always sneak one it when least expect it.

The Bells Team of Y2K
was there any better looking kit and group of fun loving riders than on that team..they had it all..Beer drinkin Fast funny guys..Hot ass chicks, killer bikes and the best kit design to date...the beer just seemed colder and tasted better back then

Robert Herriman
the first real dude that made riding a 100 miles once a week seem fun..and still post results all over the board

Promoters:
The top 2 will be inducted 

Fun Promotions 
Brent was the king of racing for what he stood for Fun...on time always scored fast nice awards..great courses..and at a fair price...

Tailwinds:
Robert and crew gave Miscne what it needed a legit series ran like a well oiled machine...from the never before done Time trial series, to XC races to CX in the fall..shoot he even had winter shit before everyobe got on a phartbike Robert and all that helped him made racing fun and affordable and gave a reason to train and go for an overall result..Although Bobby took some hits near the end for his stubborn not wanting to change ways...but TMS wrote that off as just being old and tired of dealing with all the shit promoters have to deal with...The scene has never fully recovered from the absence of Tailwind

Rick Plite
from the grass roots kiss cross keepin it simple and fun..limited Lumberjack 100 to the big mean money machine of Barry Roubiax..Rick is doing it right..If there is a right way of doing it i suppose..either way folks love to get a piece of his shit..and he never fails to deliver a well executed steamer..

AAVC
spring flingin and such beginer clinics...the club got alot of people introduced to cycling and raving

Steve Brown:
ICEMAN ...this guy takes a fun ride with your buddies and swing yer dick around and turns it into the working mans world championship..

Brian Bagma:
he has had some flops..but as of lately i think he has made it good..

Flying Rhinos
one word Waterford

KOLO-TC
unlike TMS makin people feel turd like these are a  real deal make everyone feel loved warm inside like a jelly doughnut type of group..



Venues:
The top 2 will be inducted 

Waterford Hills:
Ok its doesn't support a huge fan base spectators..few//locals only...isn't technical at all..but its home for the weekend warriors, and its always there to save the day when races fall to the way side..

Birmingham Crit course:
fast smooth , and well attended..the Bham course is probably the perfect Michigan crit

Milford Crit:
centrally located..lots a cougars walking around...most of all win the field sprint you are a badass  its a long way to the finish from the crazy last corner

BIG-M:
Classic Michigan MTB course

Pontiac Lake TT
post a fast time here or now they call it KOMn and your hangin with some fast dudes

Lowell 50
more traditional Belgium like than BRX the Lowell 50 is like a mix of Cone Azalia and Barry..lower key but fun..

Debates (old course)
not the crack pipe and needle venue the one with the two 180 degree turns mach 5 speed slam on the calipers and ramp that shit back up for 90 minutes

Zeeland Crit:
Spectators come out in droves for Miscenes one and only Twighlight cit,,

Rockford Crit:
if you would of won here you gained instant badass status,,,uphill for half..DH the rest of the way fattys always steered clear...

Addison Oaks
Not the muddy old quagmire of the years past...the Addison Oaks course is so fuckin dialed and fast its like racing on a golf course..

Ruby XC
sketchy greasy and weird but fun..everyone loves the romance of stumbling through a river!

TK lawless MTB park
11 miles of trails crammed up 1 mile of some forgotten piece of lands ass..


Events:
The top 2 will be inducted 

Kennsington 100:
2008 saw the Greg "power monger" Christian get tired of the f6 breakaway companions of Danny K the Evil Dude and few WCMR..and punches at the 70 mile mark to storm into the summit finish of the now semi legendary Kensington 100 miler solo

TDL:
Michigan's crown road jewel even if it was for just 3 years..Tour de Leelanau was a hard mans course..and when it went full NRC status few sceners made the time cut..

BRX
Biggest gravel road race in the US..for how long? ..experience before short attention span cyclist call it a day ..its worth it

ICEMAN:
Biggest 1 day race...and the hugest end of season party anywhere

Lumberjack 100
Such a cool idea and a great course to do it at....

The Black-Ace death crit any rainy year
The death crit is hard enough but when mother nature lays her monthly bill on it ..it can be down right nasty...

PEAKtoPEAK
classic Michigan race..and the year it turned winter in October it sent almost all into life alert

Kennsington Stage Race
2007 saw a two two day three stage race come to Kennsington a short sub 6 minute (use your TT bike or what ever) pro-logue in the morning.. a decent crit in the afternoon and then the long course road race Sunday..there even was a team competition..

UCI cross races
although a huge money failure to Bobby when he paid Jonny P to show up it was a pretty cool idea fro a few years

Allen Park Crit 90 min
boy it sure made the difference on a kidney shaped industrial park course when the promoters upped that shit 90m

Mount Pleasant 200K
sure everyone wants race for 125 miles
 at least back in 2012 they did....felt even better when The Panther train sat on the front at the 109 mark at 30 mph
