Another 200+ miles in the books… the third annual Tour de Connecticut has officially wrapped.👏🏼

We ended the week on a high:

🐄 Said hi to cows, alpacas, horses, and more as we rode 30 miles through beautiful hills and scenery from Storrs to Norwich
🌊 Stopped by Uncas Leap at Yantic Falls to get a quick history lesson and take in some waterfall views
🧘🏼‍♀️ Unwound with team yoga and meditation before tackling another 20 miles to Mystic
🚵‍♂️ Biked alongside our incredible #Day4 guest riders: Amy Bennett and Melissa Santoro from @tidalriver.ct, Scot Melland of Turtle Rock Ventures, and Harrison Macris of Macris Industries 
🌱 Stopped by CI portfolio company @enkoag to meet newly appointed CEO Anthony Klemm, tour the 90,000-square-foot facility, and check out their state-of-the-art labs and greenhouses
🏁 Crossed the finish line and capped things off with a networking celebration alongside the CI team, our guest riders, @hillsideventures, ecosystem partners, and more

Thank you to everyone who followed along on this year’s journey and supported CI as we showcased why Connecticut is such a great place to live, work, and play. 🚲

Day 3️⃣ of our Tour de Connecticut was packed with some of the state’s top attractions — from Dunkin’ Park, America’s Best Double-A Ballpark and home of @hartfordyardgoats Baseball ⚾️, to historic landmarks like the State Capitol, and iconic local eats at @reins_deli 🥪 We even made our way up to Storrs, uncovering hidden gems across campus with @uconn President Radenka Maric and getting a firsthand look at the innovation driving the university forward. ⏭️

Day three was all about energy, connection, and community pride. Now, let’s take on the final 50 miles! 🚲 #tourdect ...
