Soulcycler Rick Gunn Shares Life Experiences with the Leisure Hour Club
Join members of the Leisure Hour Club at their dinner meeting on Wednesday, January 20 to learn about the exploits and travels of Rick Gunn, award winning photographer, writer adventurer and public speaker based at South Lake Tahoe, California, although he considers the world his home.
In the last 20 years his work has appeared in countless books, websites and publications including the Nevada Appeal, People, Wend, Adventure Sports Journal, Adventure Cyclist, USA Today and the New York Times. In 2005, Gunn quit his 14-year career as a daily newspaper photographer and rode his bicycle 26,000-miles through 33 countries, over three years.
Since his return in 2008, he has toured with a multimedia presentation about the journey entitled “Soulcycler,” while working on book by the same name. Gunn has cycled in Oman, and The Islamic Republic of Iran to enact the “The Wheels of Peace Project,” in which he exchanged letters and artwork between the children of America and the children of Iran.
If you would like to attend this event, please call Dorothy Link at (775) 885-2542 no later than Thursday, January 14 to make your reservation. The meeting is preceded by a buffet dinner at 6:30 in the Carson Nugget Capitol Ballroom. Reservations for dinner are required.
The Leisure Hour Club, established in September of 1896, is Carson City’s oldest continuously operating social organization. Continuing to celebrate its 118th year, the organization continues to focus on its goal of promoting knowledge on important issues, science, music and literature.
