160 miles per day. That is about 10 hours on the bike per day. When you went to work today, Phil was on his bike. When you went to lunch, Phil was still on his bike; and when you had dinner – you guessed it… Phil was still on his bike! While we are sitting in our air-conditioned office tapping away on our computers or watching TV, Phil is riding through mountains in the smoldering heat, on a mission to raise $48K for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. When Phil completes his journey, he will be the first person to ever accomplish such a task.
Phil just passed the 3,000 mile marker and is headed to Little Rock, Arkansas. His legs still feel good and his voice is always positive on his phone messages that he sends to his followers every day. Phil is using One Call Now phone notification to send updates during the course of his journey.

Phillip is also posting pictures on flickr

What an amazing Journey! I was wondering if there is any way that I could get in contact with Phil once his journey is complete. Interestingly enough, I am aiming for a similar goal to his in 2010. Although not as extreme as his 8,000 miles go, I too and trying to raise awareness and donations for a charity, LLS being one of them. I’m still early in my planning stages and trying to narrow down a charity, but I would love to get in contact with Phil to learn more about his efforts. Please visit me site and send me an e-mail if you have any more details (ridingforareason.wordpress.com)
Have a great day and thanks for the update!
