TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - A 67-year-old man is young at heart and on the journey of a lifetime.
Don Ross began a bicycle ride in Alaska in October.
He rides to the motto, "love of living things". He is mainly drawing attention to climate change.
Ross pedaled his way through Canada, Missouri and now Indiana.
Wednesday, Ross arrived in Terre Haute and will stay with friends for the night before continuing his journey.
"I have some friends here I'm going to stay with. I haven't met them yet. They are friends of friends. And that's kind of the way things have been happening for me. It's really great that people have been so kind and gracious." Peace rider, Don Ross said.
Ross hopes to arrive in Washington, D.C. in mid-May.
