You might have heard about Phil Gaimon by now – he’s one of our most enthusiastic public-facing supporters.
Phil comes from the world of cycling and brings with him a passion for the environment.
Phil is a “retired” professional road cyclist, author, podcaster, YouTuber, cookie/whiskey/dog enthusiast and all-around nice (and hilarious) guy. In previous years, Phil ran a campaign to support No Kid Hungry and raised $500,000 for the charity. While he is still incredibly passionate about their mission, in the past few years Phil has been using his influence to support the Angeles Chapter.
He hosts two major cycling events every year– Whiskey Tango Fondo (aka WTF because it is THAT hard!) in the Alabama Hills area of the eastern Sierra in April and Phil’s Cookie Fondo in the Santa Monica Mountains in October. Respectively, at these events participants will find some whiskey and cookies. And, Sierra Club volunteers. And a reason to want to protect our public lands.
