Early crashes cause chaos at inaugural Texas event, which doubled prize purse to $52,000
In the red clay hills of the Texas panhandle on Saturday, Keegan Swenson and Sofia Gomez Villafañe led the way for victories in the open categories at the inaugural Valley of Tears.

A Dallas resident traveled six miles on a bike to return a found laptop to a Lakewood resident whose truck was stolen, containing his belongings. Though initially strangers, it's a story they'll both remember.https://t.co/ol4DE51rWu
