Phil Gaimon

CYCLIST

Phil is a former professional cyclist, currently chamois-deep in what he calls the “worst retirement ever.” If you have a KOM on a brutal Strava segment somewhere in the world and Phil hasn’t poached it yet, he’s coming.

Since retiring, Phil has brought humility and fun into the world of road riding, sharing his sufferfest attempts on Youtube and bringing riders of all abilities together at his Cookie Fondo. He’s a breath of slightly stanky fresh air in a sometimes stuffy arena, and never takes himself even close to too seriously. That’s obviously why we like him.
