Armwood Triple Threat Stage Race
hosted by Portage Junkyard Dogs Cycling Club
May 25,26, 2013
The 3 stage race road event was a great success! The weather cooperated (what's a little rain on Saturday morning to get the toughness out of ya!) and the support from volunteers was phenominal! Many thanks to the road course crew, follow vehicles, registration team, hospitality group, medic and commissaires. We had 33 road racers, 24 time trialists and 20 crit racers and all seemed impressed with the well organized event.

Junk Yard Dogs: Your presence is requested at the Fire Fighters Burn Fund Bicycle Auction
I wanted to make you aware of a unique opportunity to promote our club as well as assist a worthy cause.
The annual Fire Fighters Burn Fund Bicycle Auction will take place this Saturday, May 4th, 2013 at the Portage Fire Station, 124 - 3rd Street NE.
The auction begins at 10AM with bikes being displayed as early as 9AM.
I think this would be a great opportunity for members to show up on their bikes, wearing their JYD jerseys and their helmets (of course) and promote the club with our presence.
There will also be volunteer opportunities during the auction, so showing up would be a good opportunity to contribute to the cycling community and the community at large.
Please consider coming out even for a short time - much appreciated.
Bob Guenther
President - Portage Junk Yard Dogs Cycling Club
