Recently Amanda Sundvor, of Backyard Blam, put on one of her signature events at the The Lumberyard. If Saturdays event is any indication of what’s to come then The Lumberyard is on track to becoming an indoor mountain bike mecca. So much fun! Great job to everyone involved and thanks for the awesome events Amanda, keep ‘em BRUTAL!

The Blam is at it again. If you are not familiar with Backyard Blam …You probably are not worthy of showing up. OK OK OK I am just kidding. Backyard Blam is always a great time with good people, Bikes, Music and usually some good beer flowing. If you need a little refresher on what these events are like please take a moment and check it out here. Well anyways back to the point of this post.
I got an e-mail from Amanda from 21st Ave. Bicycles about the next totally awesome super sweet event she is throwing at the Lumberyard. Imagine this..Brand new indoor Mountain Bike park, Cross bikes, Beer, Great people and oh the winner of the Mens and Womens Category get’s a Raleigh Roper but don’t you worry everyone will receive a high-five. OK I am done rambling..if you do not believe how awesome this is going to be don’t take my word for it show up and race or don’t and miss out on one of the best events of 2012 until the next blam is thrown!

The following is Ullie’s recap of the race on Sunday. Nice work Ullie!
After some suggestions from fellow Cthulhu’s I headed out the
Gresham way for a day of muddy fun, it was a day of spotty rain, but
fairly warm. I missed Max’s race which ended with a mechanical on the
1st lap, but got to see El Capitan taking lots of pics & Sharon who
did great with a 2nd place finish in the B’s!
I spent the week with some intervals and a pretty good ride up Leif
Erickson, but was feeling some butterflies with a large group strong
single speeders on hand, 59 starters to be precious. Jose and Joel
were correct it was a pretty fun course with the wall of railroad tie
run up, but was still having a bit of trouble finding the strength to
turn my gears smoothly (all in due time). I was feeling like I was in
the mix trying to chase down Kevin (team beer) with no luck and a few
riders floating off the back. I passed some back of the pack B’s and
wasn’t lapped by any B’s either, this made me feel great, till the SS
leader passed me like he some were to be.
All in all I ended up having a great time and finished 40th just
behind John Howe and Kevin who got away from me, maybe next week. Hope
to see you guys out at Alpenrose wre I’m sure there will be a huge
turn out.
Go Cthulhu!!
