So, what are you going to do this summer? If you’re looking for adventure, you’ll have to go a long way to top Mike Weber, an associate professor of physics at Brigham Young University–Hawaii, who recently completed a 2,884-mile bike ride across the mainland U.S.
Weber, 53, explained that up until 2005 he was basically a runner and had completed a number of marathons, “but then I started having a lot of injuries that just wouldn’t go away. That’s why I bought a 27-speed road bike, and for a couple of years I would run and bike.”
