HOME!!

39 days riding. 10 states. 3,000 miles. 2 bikes. 1 amazing partner who stayed home and took care of the house/kids. Thank you to all my friends and family who have followed along on this incredible journey. A special shout-out to the Eli Lilly teacher creativity Grant who made this crazy idea a reality. If I learned one thing on this trip it was to be flexible, have faith and always try something you are afraid to do which is exactly like teaching. And now for the promised best of list. I can't tell you how many countless hours on the saddle I put thinking about this because what else are you going to do? :-)
