The Philiminator Rides Across America



Yep, that's our TV pal Phil Keoghan -- the "Amazing Race's" Philiminator -- plotting a bike ride across the country, starting tomorrow. Keoghan will kick off the ride at 9:15 a.m. this Saturday in Santa Monica. Other bike riders will join him for an MS-sponsored ride -- but Phil will break off at the Rose Bowl and keep on going to Victorville (for a total of 116 miles in Day 1).

Phil, who's still going forward with the stunt, despite recently rupturing his eardrum, will bike from Los Angeles to New York in a ride that will span 40 days and more than 3,500 miles. He'll average 100 miles per day and stop in 39 different cities.
