In 1978, Ashrita cycled 405 miles during the Pepsi 24 hour cycle challenge around Central Park. This distance was achieved despite only starting to train a few months before, and inspired him to go out and break Guinness World Records to show the power of meditation and spirituality. He finished 3rd in the race.
