STILLWATER, Okla., Aug. 9 (UPI) -- An Oklahoma State University junior said he completed a 4,000-mile bike ride to Alaska nearly a month ahead of schedule.
Curtis Moss, who began his bike ride in Stillwater, Okla., in June and finished this month in Anchorage, Alaska, said his accomplishment was aimed at raising awareness of the National Student Exchange, a domestic exchange program his school participates in, The (Oklahoma City) Oklahoman reported Monday.
The student said his route to Alaska covered 4,000 miles.
Moss said he averaged about 73 miles per day during his nearly two-month ride and often spent the night at colleges participating in the National Student Exchange, which allows undergraduate students to study in different areas of the United States and Canada at little or no extra cost.
The cyclist said he hopes news of his journey will inspire people to go on their own adventures. UPI
