Phillip Nagle is Still Pedaling After 2,000 Miles & 1 Crash!

Phillip Nagle is now 2,000 miles into his 8,000 mile quest to raise $48K for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Yesterday was particularly treacherous not only from being chased by 20 different dogs while trying to climb mountains in Tennessee, but the final dog ran out and front of him, causing him to wreck. He is okay, but he has what cyclists call, “road rash.” It is a condition where the asphalt takes of a layer of your skin. It is totally uncomfortable and painful, but Phil bandaged his wounds, and got back on the bike again.

It is DAY 17, and 25% of the journey is over. Phil is only about a day behind, but they had planned for 1 day of contingency. If Phil completes this ride, he will set a new world record and will be entered into the Guinness Book of World Records. Today he is headed for the Carolina’s.

Phil is using One Call Now phone notification to send updates during the course of his journey. To hear Phil’s updates online or to be added to the phone notification list, go to http://go48in48.com/onecall.
