Nevada Photographer to Celebrate 60th Birthday by Cycling Across US

RENO, Nev., April 30, 2018 (Newswire.com) - When most people turn 60, they might celebrate by going on a beach vacation or hitting the golf course, but Jeff Ross of Reno, Nevada has something else up his sleeve. Starting May 1, he will be living out a dream by riding his bicycle more than 4,200 miles across the United States from Yorktown, Virginia to Florence, Oregon. 

On May 1, 2018, Ross will dip his rear bicycle wheel in the Atlantic Ocean to begin the journey. He will end his journey by dipping his front bicycle wheel in the Pacific Ocean around July 31. He will celebrate his birthday on May 4, just a few days after beginning his ride. He will be accompanied by his “pit crew” of wife, Karen, and dog, Buddy, for the journey. 

My birthday seemed like the perfect time to achieve the dream I've had since I was 18 years old, I'm excited to meet some interesting new people and see the country in a way I never have before while fully documenting my journey.
