Due to no internet and a busy weekend, we have been delinquent in posting days 4 & 5. For those wondering, the boys did finish the bike ride on Friday afternoon October 5, but lets go back to day 4...

Day 5
Day 5, our last day. There was much excitement in the air! Uncle Wayne Dysinger and cousin Nathan Powell joined for the last 60 miles. Their fresh legs spurred the others on, and they made great time.

They did it!
This past week was full of adventures, and the memories we are left with are very sweet. We all had a wonderful time, but it wasn't only about us... It was just as much about Stephen, Aunt Sandy, Aunt Piper and Grandma Centerwall. Our hope and prayer is that the miles we have covered will bring us closer to answers and prevention for all who suffer.
Thank you for following our blog and supporting this project! It is our aim that Pedaling4Prevention will be an annual event and we are already excitedly planning for next year. Stay tuned!
