On Friday, April 20,  local photographer and cascade cyclist Dan Hershman will present a slideshow and presentation on the Ride Around Washington.  If you’re new to RAW, this will be an opportunity to gain some insight into what long-time RAW participants have come to appreciate and look forward to each year.  If you’ve done RAW before, this fun presentation will have you ready to get on your bike and start training for this summer’s return to the Palouse.

Dan is a noted local nature photographer with clients that include the Washington State Department of Tourism, Getty Images and Oregon Public Television.   He is also a contributing photographer to numerous books and publications on our region’s unique and environment. Dan’s presentation will  feature pictures of  previous RAW events, including our previous visit to the Palouse in 2004

RAW is not about finishing times, elevation gained or miles racked up, even though it certainly has its share of such statistics.  It’s a trip to experience the beauty and nature of our state and its many communities and scenic vistas.   Join us on Fridayfor a special event that will have you dreaming of grand vistas, unique and picturesque towns, and making friends with a community of riders who share a love for new experiences and epic journeys.
