"Two Wheels North," a commemorative presentation by Book-It Repertory Theater will be performed in Burien on Oct. 10 at 2 p.m.

The Highline Historical Society and the Burien Little Theatre sponsor this presentation. Funding has been provided by 4Culture.

Admission to the theater at the Burien Community Center, 425 S.W. 144th St., is free. The production is family-friendly.

The play, a staged reading of a non-fiction event, features two fresh high school graduates that set out on their second-hand bicycles from Santa Rosa, California in August of 1909 to take on the challenge of cycling from their home to Seattle for the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition.

With less than six dollars between them, they pedal, push, and walk a thousand miles of primitive roads for 54 days.

The intrepid boys encounter nearly every imaginable natural, mechanical, and human challenge on their one-speed bikes. While adventure is their primary lure, there is a promised purse of $25 from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer waiting for them if they can only make it to Seattle before the final day of the AYP.
