PHIL'S COOKIE FONDO by VERIZON // SUNDAY - OCTOBER 15, 2017
PHIL GAIMON'S 2017 COOKIE CORNER TOUR
Phil Gaimon's #cookiecorner rocked the 2017 Amgen Tour of California! We heckled the riders, ate some cookies, gave out tons of swag, and even got shoutouts from Phil Ligget & Paul Sherwen. More photos and Phil's summary available below.
Event Info
'The Original Cookie Fondo'
In Phil Gaimon’s years as a pro cyclist, when he mentioned that he lived in Los Angeles, people would ask how he could train in a town known only for traffic and movie stars, but pro teams have held training camps in Malibu for years, and here's your chance to find out why.
Phil’s Fondo is his chance to show off the great climbs, ocean air, and perfect weather, to help Los Angeles get the reputation it deserves as a world-class cycling destination. Phil designed the courses himself, collected rider gifts from his favorite sponsors, and thanks to our fundraising partners, Chef’s Cycle and No Kid Hungry, we’ll have celebrity chefs and Michelin stars providing lunch at the expo Saturday, post-ride dinner Sunday, and gourmet cookies all weekend, for an LA food experience that would be worth the price of registration by itself.

“My two favorite things are climbing mountains and eating cookies. Thanks to the beauty of Malibu and the taste of Jeff Mahin’s M Street Kitchen, I’m proud to offer you the very best of both.””
