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.

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.

Day 5 – Phillip Nagle Still Pedaling on his Mission to Raise $48K for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Some people think he is crazy for attempting to ride so many miles in 48 days. I even had a friend bet me a pair of Speedplay bike pedals that he wouldn’t make it. But I am a believer: He’s going to make it. I know it. I hope you will be a believer too.

At the end of the day on July 23rd, Phil was 550 miles into his 8,000 mile journey to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Today he is headed for the beautiful state of Vermont. Being a flatlander from Ohio, Phil went above what his training had prepared him for and conquered the hills in the Allegany National forest in New York. “My legs are a little sore,” he admitted humbly. (I wonder how he is going to feel when he hits the Rockies!) I have to confess that I wish that I was riding with him: A ride like this comes once in a lifetime if we’re lucky. And to ride for such a mission makes it even more special.
