Ride
Around Washington, who like to call themselves RAW, camped in Cheney at Betz
Elementary on August 8, 2012. Charles Ruthford, with Cascade Bicycle Club, said
that 250 cyclists and 25 volunteers started the week in Chewelah on Saturday
and averaged about 70 miles per day.
The week's route headed from Chewelah down Flowery Trail Road
through Usk, Newport and then down to Spirit Lake.
