Good morning, Castle Rock.

The Town of Castle Rock will host its annual Pedal the Moon bike ride on July 12 from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.—participants will start from either Castle View High School at 7 p.m. or Douglas County High School at 7:15 p.m. and ride about six miles along East Plum Creek Trail to Festival Park to enjoy food, music and glow giveaways while following safety rules.

The National Federation of High Schools announced new basketball rule changes for the upcoming 2025-26 season—defining goaltending as a violation only when a defensive player touches the ball on its downward flight after hitting the backboard—while a 35-second shot clock will be added starting in the 2026-27 season.
