Andy Leeka is the president and COO of Angle Health, a medical insurance company based in San Francisco. Cycling is something Andy Leeka has a passion for, and he completed a ride across the country, from Santa Monica to Bar Harbor, at his own pace.
The distance between Santa Monica, California, and Bar Harbor, Maine, is roughly 3,300 miles and would take around 50 hours by automobile. The average cyclist could complete this journey in just under 280 hours. Andy Leeka made this trek over a 10-year period, taking a route that spanned more than 4,600 miles and 23 states.
Mr. Leeka completed his marathon over 12 stages, where he would leave his bicycle in storage at the end of each stage. He had to plan this event around his career and family life, and continued on his destination whenever he had some extended free time. The longest stage was just over 600 miles between Pueblo, Colorado, and Kansas City, Missouri, while the shortest was just 167 miles between Las Vegas, Nevada, and St. George, Utah.
