| 8 Reasons You Need to Ride the Cookie Fondo |
#1 - Malibu, California
The word is out on the best-kept secret in cycling destinations, with challenging terrain and breathtaking views in all directions, just minutes from Los Angeles.
#2 - Great Swag
Phil’s Fondo has the best partners, who stuff your goodie back with quality and fun, like a custom cookie bottle, limited edition shirt & much more!
#3 - Free Cookies!
Phil’s Cookie Fondo is a bike ride technically, but it’s also a cookie party, with delicious cookies at every aid station from a renowned LA bakery. #earnyourcookies
#4 - Charity Focused
Phil’s Fondo Benefits Sierra Club’s Los Angeles Chapter, which heavily involved in protecting wild habitats in the Santa Monica Mountains where there our event takes place. They also advocate for clean air projects, and provide volunteers to ensure a successful event.
#5 - Amazing Climbs
We offer a flat 20-mile route on Sunday, but the rest of the routes have some tough climbs, so you’ll have to #earnyourcookies
#6 - Breathtaking Descents
The other reward for climbing is of course coasting, with fun, twisty descents that’ll put a smile on your face (but don’t have too much fun—there’s no crashing allowed at Phil’s Fondo.)
#7 - Delicious Food
Classy post-ride meals provided by our team of chefs from some of the nicest restaurants in town, for the full Los Angeles experience!
#8 - More Cookies!
If you think it’s weird that we have two cookies on this list, wait till you see how many we have on Fondo weekend.
