Today's Sports

Last week was a big week for those who enjoy their sports video games (raising hand now).

Electronic Arts released its latest version of college football delight, “NCAA ‘09,” for all the various consoles (sorry, DS owners, you’ll have to wait for Madden).

Traditionally, the release of a new virtual football game brings smiles to the masses who gladly fork over $60 for the right to say they were among the first to own — and play — the game.

When drawing up ideal weather conditions for a bike ride, Saturday, July 12, would be a day to put in a time capsule.

Riders that took part in the 20th annual Triple Bypass were treated to sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s as they made their way from Bergen Park over Juniper, Loveland and Vail passes before settling in Avon 120 miles later.

The 10,000-foot gain in elevation certainly isn't easy, but the riders had plenty of resources at their disposal before even hopping on their bikes.

Holidays are all about tradition, and the Fourth of July is no exception. We celebrate our independence, barbecue with friends and family and ooh and ahh at fireworks shows.

In Evergreen, a thousand-plus runners and walkers gather for the annual Freedom Run to benefit Mount Evans Hospice and Home Healthcare.

When the final school bell rings and students are dismissed for the summer, parents are already devising ways to keep their children active.

And no, video games don’t count as an activity.

Typically, a popular sport amongst boys is our national pastime: baseball. It is without question the sport of summer.

But, the baseball season only lasts so long. Most leagues have already begun to wind down, or are already finished for the year.
