Wheels North is indebted to Evelyn McDaniel Gibb for allowing us to reproduce these family photos of her father, Vic McDaniel.
	Vic McDaniel was not just a cyclist. He is shown in this photo (seated, center) as a member of his high school basketball team.
	In this photo, taken about ten years after the ride, Vic McDaniel is shown in his Army uniform. He served in WWI as a soldier stationed in France.
	Vic later graduated from college. He had a long and successful career as an accountant.

	1961--Vic was profiled in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. He said of his 1909 ride to the AYPE, "It was quite an experience, but I wouldn't want to have to do it again."
