Normally we try to keep the times and results a secret for “Worst Retirement Ever,” but Phil broke his own rules and pinned on a number for the last two events, taking no Strava KOMs, but winning two fun races: USA Cycling Hillclimb National Championships on Pike’s Peak in Colorado, and the Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb in New Hampshire (yes…a cookie-themed stars and stripes kit is coming soon).

While people who know how to make videos put those into YouTube shows, Phil can take some time off to prepare for his Fondo and book launch Oct 15. On that note, the COOKIECORNER code is back to save $50 at www.philsfondo.com ($25 for the code, $25 for the early pricing), AND we’ve partnered with Diesel Bookstores, so you can preorder a signed copy through here: www.dieselbookstore.com/product/draft-animals-phil-gaimon-signed-copy
