In Phil Gaimon’s years as a pro cyclist, when he mentioned that he lived in Los Angeles, people would ask how he could train in a town known only for traffic and movie stars, but pro teams have held training camps in Malibu for years, and thanks to Phil’s Fondo, the rest of the cycling world is starting to know why.
Phil’s Fondo is his chance to show off the great climbs, ocean air, and perfect weather, to help Los Angeles get the reputation it deserves as a world-class cycling destination. Phil designs the courses himself, collects rider gifts from his favorite sponsors, invites his pro friends, and has an incredible post-ride meal thanks to local celebrity chefs. With 10,000 gourmet cookies on course, the food experience alone would be worth the price of registration.
Phil’s Cookie Fondo 2025 will raise funds for the Los Angeles Chapter of Sierra Club, which is active in protecting the Santa Monica Mountains where we ride. Come be a part of something fun, healthy, and impactful!
