“To Phil, I love your ride!”
– Greg Lemond, multiple Ride Genius Bike Ride participant
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. - John K 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.” -Terry G
"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." - Mike L "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." - Bill S "I want to see the manager!" - Bill Preston
