24 Hour Bike Marathon in Central Park NYC
Filed under Sport & AthleticsMany of the Meditation Group’s aspiring athletes spent a rather invigorating Memorial Day weekend this year, cycling in the annual 24-hour Pepsi Cola bike marathon in Central Park.
Hi mileage award in the Group went to Paul LaRusso of UNICEF, who circled the five -mile track 54 tim for a total of 270 miles. Most of the women in the Group completed 100-150 miles, with Barbar DeLong of ESA making a strong showing with 210 miles ; and Sri Chinmoy , Group leader, kept up slow but steady pace all night long to finish with a highly respectable 175 miles.
The Group practiced twice daily in Flushing Meadow Park for about three weeks before the event.
