Okay Merrell… Our home course, our biggest race weekend of the season and the one where Coyotes seem to be everywhere at once. We needed all of them too, because 115 riders rolled to a starting line over two days. That’s 115 Coyotes racing, cheering, looking for snacks, asking when they race, forgetting when they race, fixing things that were …
Race season is back, which means the Coyotes are back riding bikes, cheering loudly, eating snacks and repairing things that were completely fine when they left the garage. Thunderstorms rolled through most of Saturday morning because apparently Stony Creek wanted to recreate our last visit in 2023. If you were there, you remember. Rain, mud and every parent checking the …
Word of the weekend? Crash. Not the movie. Not the stock market. Just Coyotes hitting the dirt like it was a team-building exercise. Dust clouds, snack clouds, brake squeals…Bloomer Park this weekend wasn’t a race, it was a fever dream sponsored by snacks. Eighty degrees. In October. Michigan. Somebody turned the “simulate July county fair” knob to 11 and then …
Saturday cooked us like hotdogs left too long on the grill…mostly because Coach Ryan was up at Marji and apparently he’s the only one who knows how to flip the dawgs without burning them. It wasn’t just warm, it was “whose genius idea was navy blue jerseys in full sun” warm. Parents were melting into their camp chairs, huddled under …
We’re still leading High School, the Coyotes kept the flag planted up top but Middle School slipped a gear and now we’re in full chase mode for the series lead. Elementary? Missed the win by just two points. Two! That’s basically one juice box, one stray donut, or one parent yelling louder at the finish line. So yeah, the hunt …
It started like any other weekend…bikes in the truck, snacks in the cooler, parents half-awake and clutching coffee like life support. Birds chirping, dew on the grass, dads triple-checking their tire pressure gauges like they’re prepping for the Tour de France. Moms casually packing “just a few snacks” which, upon closer inspection, turned out to be an entire pantry. Kids …
STATE CHAMPIONS, BABY! That’s right, not just champions – double champions! Your Coyotes claimed the throne for both Elementary AND Middle School! Cue the most dramatic, over-the-top “Danger Zone” intro, because what went down was pure Top Gun-style domination. These kids didn’t just show up to race; they showed up to fly, pulling Maverick-worthy moves and turning the trails into …
If you missed this weekend at Stony Creek, let me just say…you missed everything! The Coyotes hit a course that was basically an MTB amusement park on steroids—like, if Disneyland and a rollercoaster had a wild love child that could shred! We’re talking trails so flowy they could make a river jealous, rocks galore that had you questioning whether you …
This weekend at Maybury State Park, the Coyotes took on a time trial format that had some racers pumped and others counting down to snack time. The course? Old-school MTB magic…roots, drops, and more twists than your favorite TV show finale. I personally loved it, but let’s be real, I wasn’t the one racing! We tied for the Elementary race, …
Welcome to the sandy wilds of Owasippe, where the West Michigan Coyotes took on the trails and dominated…fueled by donuts, cookies, and a lot of laughter! This course is known for its extra sandy conditions and those infamous sketchy bridges (seriously, it’s like playing “don’t fall into the drink”), but our team handled it like pros. And for the record, …
