I have not ridden with Phil the Ride Genius for a few years now. Have done The Catoctin Challenge twice, Apple Peaches Pumpkin twice and two others that I can’t remember where, for that matter even their names. I’m sure I probably had a few too many ketel ones the night before the ride which I do not recommend. I have never thanked him for getting me involved with bike riding. The challenge of the rides, the scenery especially the fall rides just beautiful, but mostly all the people that I meet truly a great group. So thank you again Phil you are truly the Ride Genius. Hope to do it again with you.

Did the Frederick to Pittsburgh ride in 2021. Couldn’t ask for a better coordinated ride. Maps and markers were spot on. The scenery and back roads were incredible. Frostburg to Deep Creek may be the most picturesque ride I’ve ever been on. Phil is truly the “Ride Genius.”

Phil – I enjoyed this Frostburg to Deep Creek Lake Ride very much. Beautiful Fall days (2 of 3); challenging terrain; very nice riders and the overnight accomodations and restaurants in both towns were very nice. I appreciate all the work you and Jeanette put into these “Ride Genius Trips.” Looking forward to the next ride.”

Unbelievably great routes, tremendous Support & incredible Scenery, cannot express how wonderful ALL of the many RG Tours I have done!

I recently had the opportunity to participate in the Apples Peaches ride and my only regret is that I didn't know about Phil's tours sooner! Phil is an awesome leader and planner. The roads are well-marked with arrows and encouraging remarks! The scenery (and hills) are amazing and each rider is made to feel special throughout the trip. I will definitely ride again with Genius Bike Tours.

"I have done the Apples, Peaches, many times and my only critique is that there is never any CHERRY PIE! Otherwise well prepared, great routes, well supported and the other riders are always great people! You should try it and all of the rest of the Ride Genius events."

"Pedal Pittsburgh is one of the most challenging rides that I have ever done. If you like climbing and thrilling descents you will love this ride. The scenery and views are awesome. Staff is great and support is super. I have received no renumeration for this comment."

"I rode my first Pedal to Pittsburgh in 2015.  I had the best time.  Good food, clean rooms, great routes and a lot of laughs.  Everyone I've met on the rides I now consider a friend."
