(Mods if this should be in a different place please move it- I figured since it was going on now, I'd put it here) You probably heard that Phil Kegohan is going to ride a bicycle from LA to NYC for MS awareness, among other things. Well, it's starting this week, so I figure if we wanted to comment on it, we'd have a place. here's the official website: http://philridesacrossamerica.com/ (it's bare bones right now, but it is supposed to have more stuff as they get going) and an article that includes his travel schedule: http://tinyurl.com/cc7m2v

Well not enough info for sure. The 28th is almost here and just saying LA isn't going to tell people where to go see him off or even what time. Guess people could go hang out in Baker all day on Monday (NOT) where it wouldn't be hard, or as hard to locate the riders..

I'd love to cheer him on, but without knowing the route he's taking, can't be done. He almost has to come somewhere near me to get from LA to anywhere east, but where? I thought perhaps following the old route 66 would work, but I can't just hang out along Foothill Boulevard all day in the hopes that he bikes on by.

Well it looked like he'd be leaving "LA" and heading to Vegas through Baker.. I think Baker is tomorrow and then on to Vegas.

The fastest way to get from Santa Monica to Baker would take a route that would almost pass my home. BUT NO! He went down through south LA then up to Pasadena. I didn't feel like driving to Pasadena not knowing what time they'd get there, so I missed my chance to cheer him on. He has some pretty hard riding uphill for today and tomorrow.

Phil was in Columbus Ohio yesterday (4/29) Tuesday afternoon he took a spill on his bike while crossing a bridge. He had a bandage on his face and indicated that he has some other bumps and bruises. He say although he was sore from the fall he still plan on going the 108 mikes scheduled for that day. I got there late and didn't have a chance to meet him as he was giving a little talk to the ten to twenty people that were there. (not sure how many showed up before I got there) I forgot my camera but use my cell phone to capture these photos. (sorry about the quality)

This past week Phil was on Bonnie Hunt via film and then live via satellite or skype. Bonnie had film of him meeting her mom in Chicago. Then the live airing was from Lima, OH. Early in the convo he said to Bonnie, "My wife is here." In other words: Careful what you say, Bonnie.
