Athletes from 21 states are in Cleburne to compete in the fifth annual Texas Time Trials, a three-day bicycle competition in which participants take laps in the hills southwest of Cleburne. One hundred thirty participants are registered, and more are expected to register on the day of the race they want to compete in.

“There’s nothing like it going on in Texas currently,” event director Dan Driscoll said. “Years and years ago there was a race like this down in McGregor. I had competed in that race years ago, and I wanted to keep something like that alive in Texas.”

The event, begun in 2003, has been successful, drawing cyclists from all over the world.
