from $11.00

An amazing true story of Depression-era determination as three boys ride their bicycles from Baraboo to New York City to see the 1939 World's Fair. In the spring of 1939 the Baraboo High School was abuzz with the rumor that Earl Wichern, Ken Harvey and Bob Shult were about to do something kind of crazy. They were going to ride bicycles from Baraboo to New York City to see the World’s Fair. But it wasn’t a rumor. The funny thing however was that the boys didn’t even own bikes. But they soon did and set out on the adventure of a lifetime. You will be transported to a simpler time that would soon vanish with the onset of World War II. Three boys became men and a nation soon became a war machine, but for a few brief weeks during the summer of 1939 a crazy dream was realized. More than fifty years later the story is recounted by Earl Wichern in his book, “Life in the Slow Track.”
