Later in life, he walked in spirituality, and his spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy motivated him to take part in a 24-hour bicycle race in New York City's Central Park in 1978. With hardly two week's workout, he wrapped for third place, cycling 405 miles. After that, this strong believer of spirituality switched his first name to Ashrita, which means ‘protected by God’ in Sanskrit.
