Those who have attended River Suite in previous years will find something new at this year’s dinner and music event on the historic Cottonwood River Bridge in downtown Cottonwood Falls.
Dave Leiker, of Emporia, captured a few scenes from the UNBOUND gravel races last weekend that captured a glimpse of how grueling the contests were. Leiker said he had deep respect for the riders and referred to them as “signs of courage, resolve and character.” Leiker used to work as part of the photography team, as a stringer for the Kansas City Star. He said he missed the pure adventure and challenge of the work, and getting deep into that element. He loves seeing the play of emotion in the riders’ faces and the inspiration of seeing them rise to such a challenge and meeting it.
