SPORTS News:
The 43rd Annual Tour de Los Alamos Bicycle Race took place Sunday morning, July 12.
The race began on Trinity Drive in downtown Los Alamos with eight different start times, depending on the category of racer. A car led each race group in a neutral parade that traveled over the Diamond Drive bridge toward Los Alamos National Laboratory. Once through the Laboratory VAP, the race began at Casa Grande Drive, when the lead vehicle left the group of racers.
The course looped from Jemez Road, to the T-intersection with N.M. 4 at the Back Gate, passed Bandelier National Monument, continued through White Rock, and then turned for a climb up East Jemez. The loop challenged riders with 27 miles with about 2,000 feet of climbing on each loop.
