Ryan Gardner

Ryan, 28, is the graphics and photography director for the Corvallis Gazette-Times. He will cover the race for the paper as a one of George and Terri’s crewmembers.

Though he’s never covered a RAAM before or written a book, he did follow a team (headed up by Jeff Welsh, Gazette-Times sports editor and Team VeloWEAR member) from start to finish, during the Race Across Oregon 2003. Luckily, George and Terri are not taking any lessons from that team.

Ryan is excited to document George and Terri’s journey across the country and keep thousands of people informed of their progress along the way.
