Ohioan on 800-mile bike ride to attend reunion

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — An Ohio man is on an 800-mile bike ride to attend his 50th high school class reunion in Massachusetts. Peter Noonan hit the road May 20 and is expected to arrive Thursday at Deerfield Academy, his old prep school in Deerfield, Mass.

The 68-year-old Noonan said he’s in good shape and thought the ride would be a nice way to see the country.

But, Noonan said he won’t be cycling back.

The bike will be loaded in a car for the trip back to Ohio. Noonan said 800 miles one way is enough to make his point.
