John and Peter Wood complete 3,900 mile bike ride across the US

Dr. John Wood and son Peter finished their cross country bike ride on October 1, 2024.

Peter had wanted to see the Statue of Liberty. John had recently retired and wanted to take Peter on the adventure of a lifetime.

They set off from the Oregon coast on July 6. After 64 days of riding and 3,900 miles of peddling, they arrived in NYC on September 30 having weathered rain – remnants of Hurricane Helene – equipment breakdowns, mountain climbs and descents, and poorly marked trails, they arrived at NYC and the Statue of Liberty.
