I once referred to cyclists as “bikers” on this blog, and it really irked a certain cyclist/reader who left some snippy commentary; but what do I know? I’m just a dumb runner (who is secretly very envious of you cyclists and your fancy bikes). Anyhoo, think of this weekend’s Two White Dogs Duathlon as a symbol of peace between runners and cyclists at White Rock Lake. Or you could just opt to skip the biking and run the 5k — your choice. The events begin at the Bath House Cultural Center at 7:30 a.m. Sunday, August 2. More about prices and registration on active.com.
