Phillip Nagle Makes It Home after Cycling 8,200 Miles to Raise Money for Cancer Research

We were all waiting by the side of the road, looking into the sun, waiting for the headlights of the police escorts. The news vans and hundreds of people stood on the side of the road waiting for him to arrive. And there he was.

After 8,200 miles through 48 states, Phil completed his journey. He slammed on his breaks, and lifted his bike above his head, but he wasn’t the man that left Tipp City 57 days ago. His body has completely transformed as the result of 8,200 miles of sheer willpower and determination. He grabbed his bike and lifted it over his head in victory with his huge infectious smile. He made it. He’s home.

I watched Phil get swarmed by cameras as he enjoyed the moment and I too snapped away happily, feeling completely inspired, and admiring the human desire to put your head down and grind through it… and realizing that no matter how hard things become, in the end you will cross the finish line with the sun from the west shining on your back. Thanks Phil! You have been an inspiration for us all.

Phillip Nagle UPDATE & New VIDEO’S – from Andrew Dom –
We are currently in South Dakota about 140 miles from North Dakota! Picked up state 39 and 40 today. The wind has been coming from the east all day and has slowed Phil down a lot. Hopefully the wind starts blowing east like it’s supposed to soon! Everything else is going good, as Phil has conqured the Rockies and cycled for over 6,500 miles!

There are two new videos posted to our youtube channel. Check them out they are pretty cool.

Phil Nagle Reaches Eureka, Nevada. He is riding his bike through 48 states to raise $48K for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Phil is in the huge state of Nevada. Yesterday he battled headwind gusts at 30 mph. Let me digress here. When you are on a bike trying to get somewhere and you have that kind of a headwind, it feels like someone put about 50 lbs on your bike. You turn the pedals and you just can’t go anywhere. Your legs are on fire, and you are going nowhere. But Phil just keeps pedaling. I can honestly say, I am absolutely amazed that his body is still going. But for Phil, it isn’t about what his body can do, it is what his mind is telling his body to do.

Here is a note from Andrew O’Dom, Team Manager:
“We are currently in Nevada and will be for the next 3 days. This is our 33 state and we are well over half way done with our trip. Phil is doing amazing as he has cycled for over 4,500 miles in 33 straight days. He has set a trip record with 185 miles in one day! He has also hit speeds as high as 53 mph! Simply amazing, but we need your help.

With the trip just over the half way point we are trying to make a final push towards raising the $48,000 for LLS as well as raise enough funds to complete our mission.

If you can find it in your hear and your wallet 🙂 please help us meet our goal with your donations. You could make the difference. Donate to LLS using the link on our facebook page. Or donate directly to us at www.go48in48.com. Donations made to us will be used for the trip as well as put towards our goal for LLS

Thank you all for you support without you we wouldn’t have made it this far.

Thanks,

Andrew”

Phil Nagle Reaches the 3,000 Mile Marker on His 8,000 Mile Cycling Journey to Raise $48K for Cancer Research

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.

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.

Phillip Nagle is riding his bicycle across 48 states in 48 days to raise $48,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!

One Call Now is proud to sponsor Phillip Nagle on his quest to cycle through mass quantities of pain by riding across 48 states in 48 days. Phillip is dedicating his campaign to his uncle, Alvin Nagle, who died of leukemia as a teenager. Alvin was ambitious, athletic, and always helped others.

As an avid cyclist, when I heard about this campaign, I thought he was crazy. But after reading about Philip on his website at go48in48.com, I immediately admired his dedication and vision. It will be an epic journey that I cannot wait to follow, and live vicariously through, particularly the southern states and up into the beautiful American Northwest. The level of self determination and willpower necessary to take on this level of effort is truly amazing and inspirational.
