Home, sweet home!

I want to let everyone know that we're home! We'll go back and fill in some gaps - including pictures - but for now I thought we'd let you know that we're home. Safe and clean.

For the last two days on the road, we were accompanied by Lindsay and Mike's parents and brother, Kevin, and my parents, sister Hannah, and boyfriend, Ben. Keat Sanford, our assistant dean of admissions, even came out for a day. Having everyone out there with us was awesome; this summer has made me more certain of how important my family is to me.

After a week of sleep, food, and catching up on life, we took off from UConn to do our final ride to the shore in Milford, CT. About 20 people joined us for the ride, which included one huge hill on which they could all impress us! We arrived at the ocean, where we dipped our tires in the water and took a bunch of pictures to remember the day by. More friends were waiting at Archie Moore's to celebrate our arrival with us - all in all, a great day!

So... thanks for keeping up with us throughout our ride. We've raised almost $50,000 for Lea's Foundation. We'll be back to tell more through words and pictures about the past couple weeks...
