K-Man Reports, "Robyn Schmidt, dba (All Comers Queen)DVM(Dr. Schmidt)aka(Kwoman) had > 1000 kids come to the All Comers track meets this summer. It is arguably the best event Atascadero has ever seen for its youth.  Thanks to my beautiful bride for spreading the Team K-Man love to our young Kmunity by providing an active alternative to a sometimes lazy, tv/computer laden, summer.   Man I love this girl!!!!"

K-Reporter- Steve LaChaine - is recovering at home after a bad bike crash that had him in the ER room for 5 hours after being airlifted from Lockwood Valley Road. He reports, "Yea I've been riding again every couple days.  not more then 2 hours yet but ribs are much better.  I can stand on hills now.  road rash all healed.  Getting the feeling back in my lip.  Not really dizzy anymore unless I pop out of bed too fast."
