Philip M Keating Fund for the Future.
"Phil's Fund" is a donor-advised charitable fund of the Arlington Community Foundation. The Fund will make grants to various organizations to which Phil volunteered his efforts, time, and talents.

On May 28, 2013 a group of four fit and ambitious friends of Phil, led by his good friend, Luis Gendive, soccer coach and native of Spain, will leave Yorktown, Virginia and pedal around 3,500 miles to San Francisco, California. Tentative plans are for some members of Phil's family to ride the first leg of the trip. If your not able to join the team on your bike, you can support them with a financial donation!

Day 26

Today we had an easy day in the morning, we went through Salida, it's a nice town and a lot of people bike, stopped at a small cafe, where usually most cyclist come too.  After Salida, the start  Monarch Mountain climb began, it was 25 miles of going to the sumit, which was 11312 feet. When we reached the top, we stopped for a bit to enjoy the view of the mountains, then decented down to sargent for lunch. We 55 miles in the morning till lunch.  After that, we continued on for another 32 miles, and we stopped in Gunnison for the night. Again the weather was better than yesterday, there was no smoke from the forest fires, but the wind was gusting in the 20 mph, which slowed us down. Hope the wind calms down tomorrow. We are 180 miles away from the border of Colorado/Utah, we should be there in a couple days.
