Phil is an highly accomplished and decorated cyclist with an X-games gold medal and the RAAM world record to his name (((mic drop!!)))

Phil is also a fellow San Marcos neighbor who is raising 2 children, works, and continues to ride his bike 10-20 hours a week!!   Riding bikes all his life including BMX, Motocross, Downhilling, Road and Gravel, he continues his journey and his passion for riding thrives.  At the time of this interview in January 2022, he was training to do the grueling 24-hours of Old Pueblo with his teammates Victor Sheldon (Ep. 1), Pete Tholl (Ep. 4) and Brandon Mills.

He continues to stay busy in the cycling community and...

  • is racing for Monster Race Team 
  • partner of Monument of Cycling with MMX (Ep. 2) to put on the Belgian Waffle Ride - San Diego, Cedar City, North Carolina, and Kansas.
  • preparing for an 8-person RAAM (Race Across America) in June 2022
  • NICA coach with his kids and their school 
  • This interview is jam packed with stories from professional downhilling in the 90s, burning out and then finding the love again, dappling in triathlons, integrating riding and raising a family and his experiences with RAAM.  The documentary "Four by 3000" is worth watching and is inspiring to say the least!
