Glen DuPont arrives in Canada.

Malibu motorcyclist Glen DuPont successfully rode from Tijuana, Mexico, to Vancouver, British Columbia, in just under 24 hours. He arrived at his destination at approximately 7 a.m. on April 2 after completing a total of 1,391 miles in 23 hours and 31 minutes. 

DuPont planned his 3 Flags Ride to raise funds for Autism Speaks, and symbolically began his ride on April 1 — the first day of Autism Awareness month. He is currently travelling back to Los Angeles, while making stops at special needs schools along the way. 

“The ride was a rousing success,” DuPont said. “We made a lot of money for autism.”
