Set Your Calenders, Wheels North 4-17July2009

The Big Fix Crew [Big Fix 2006: The Movie] is getting together again in 2009 to fight Histiocytosis.

Arms linked to support each other, looking forward with hope for adventures to come, Vic and Ray [see picture above] capture the spirit of fixed gear adventure that awaits you in 2009 as a part of the Wheels North ride to Fight Histiocytosis (what is Histio?). The book 'Two Wheels North' is based on the true story....

of Vic McDaniel and Ray Francisco, two teenagers from Santa Rosa, California, who in 1909 rode fixed-gear bikes to the Alaska-Pacific-Yukon Exposition in Seattle, Washington. Their story was told by Vic's daughter, Evelyn McDaniel Gibb, in Two Wheels North, published by Oregon State University Press. The 2009 Wheels North is recreating the epic 1909 adventure of two young cyclists by riding from Santa Rosa, California to Seattle, Washington.
