SPORTS News:Thanks to everyone who raced, volunteered or both at last Sunday’s Atomic Man Duathlon. Here is a schedule for upcoming activities.

Meet at 5:50 p.m., on the bike path at the intersection of Monte Rey Drive North and State Road 4 to get your name on the list. Following the time trial, there will be a pizza social at 7:30 p.m., at the White Rock Time Out Pizza at 118 State Road 4. All are welcome to come for pizza whether your ride the TT or not.
