People passing by Martin Stadium on Monday may have noticed an exuberant man defiantly holding his bike over his head. That man was Ford Baker, a 50-year old who is beginning the quest of a lifetime while seeing some of his favorite sites. During the course of the next few weeks, the Texas accountant will bike down the coast from Vancouver to Tijuana - a distance spanning more than 2,000 miles - and touring the Pac-12 schools in the process. In early 2012, Baker weighed in at 340-pounds and was hobbled by several medications. Moscow-Pullman Daily News story here . (Daily News photo)
