Team 26 Cyclists Return to Newtown with Messages of Support [PHOTO]

Cyclists returned home from their trip Tuesday night at Fairfield Hills.

 

Complete with messages of support from their trip, Team 26 cyclists returned to Fairfield Hills late Tuesday night. The riders left Newtown Saturday, journeying more than 100 miles a day to bring a message of hope and love to Washington, DC. Cyclists said the vans were decorated during their stay in Baltimore.

Riders said they felt like their message had been heard. At a press conference in Washington earlier Tuesday, Rep. Elizabeth Esty cheered the cyclists on, serving as the emcee for Team 26's welcome ceremony, according to the Danbury News-Times. Esty said she was "confident that we will achieve meaningful change."
