Chuck Thorpe and Majd Sakr Finish Race Across America
Chuck Thorpe, Dean of CMU-Qatar, and Majd Sakr, Associate Teaching Professor at CMU-Qatar, completed the Race Across America yesterday. This means they rode bicycles, relay-style, from the Oceanside, California to Annapolis, Maryland. Joining Chuck and Majd were Doug Thorpe (Chuck’s brother) and Doug Leamon. Together, they formed Team2600. The team completed the feat in just 8 days.
Wow!
