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 35 complete

After climbing Carson Pass, the map said it was mostly all down hill, but it wasnt. We encounter a few small hills and some with steep grades. At the end of the day, we accomplish 106 miles. It was hot and the sun was beating down. It reached the near 100s. We made it to placerville, but there was no power due to the wild fires going on around the south west, especially in Arizona, and Nevada. Its suppose to get worse here with highs in the 110s. We drove to Folsom, were there was power, and then went for a nice dinner, thanks to Mark and the Hooban Family. We are 110 miles from San Francisco, and we should be there by July 3rd. Tomorrow we will have a light day!
