We last left off on Day 19 and you can click here to remind yourself of the videos. Since CBS is not going to post Days 20 & 21, you can find them and any of Phil's supplemental videos at the Phil Rides Across America site.

I'll just continue with what we have at YouTube.

UPDATE - 5/11/09. OMG!!!! CBS has actually posted Days 20 & 21

Day 20: Phil rides into Sutton, NE. Phil is sick. The wind is killing Phil.

Day 21: Phil rides into Omaha, NE. Phil is wiped out, but he does an event at a GNC store in Lincoln, NE.

Day 22: Phil's in Atlantic, IA and in the hospital because he can't keep anything down.

Day 23 & Day 24: Phil is feeling better and he went to Des Moines, IA and Iowa City, IA.

Day 25: Phil heads to Davenport, IA and Phil gets a nice send off from the Iowa Hawkeye!

CBS did not post Day 26 which had Phil going into Rochelle, IL and during which he did a voiceover for the final episode of TAR 14! You can see it over at the Phil Rides Across America site. So we head to Day 27: Phil rides into Chicago!

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #156 on:** May 02, 2009, 04:34:08 PM »

We continue with the videos.

Since Day 28 was a rest day for Phil in Chicago, he goes over of the highlights of his ride to date. But some jokester at CBS would not allow us to embed it. It's the only one! Jerks!

Go here to watch it.

Day 29: Phil heads into Plymouth, IN and I believe it's the Eastern Time Zone (wanna fight about it, ap?)

. Phil met Bonnie Hunt's mom and sister along the way.

That's where YouTube has left off. The videos go through Day 33 so you can go to Phil's site to check them out. If CBS decides to post more videos, I'll put them there.

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #157 on:** May 02, 2009, 04:53:34 PM »

Oh ladies!!!!!! I think you should all check out Day 32 where Phil shows his nekkid butt! I kid you not! Go to the Phil Rides Across America site and watch it.

Ken, I used to live in Indiana not far from Plymouth. Also, all of Indiana, except for 12 counties in the northwest and southwest corners of the state, is in the Eastern Time Zone.

puddin waits in the rain with a jar of balm to heal Phil's road rash

.. its my duty!

I think Phil had problems yesterday. I show him to be in Hancock, Md this morning.....and he was supposed to be in Hagerstown, Md.......I think. Either that or his little tracking device quit when the rode through Hancock, Md.

apskip · « **Reply #162 on:** May 04, 2009, 09:42:43 AM »

Anyone who has ever driven Interstate 80 across Pennsylvania knows how hilly it is. Phil is discovering America the hard way, but for a good cause. Also, he does need to be in Manhattan by Sunday night in order to fulfill his obligations to CBS so why not a 3000+ mile bike ride?

Back with some more videos.

Day 30: Phil heads into Fort Wayne, IN. Phil loses it as Scottie Boombastic messes up his hotel room.

Day 31: Phil rides into Lima, OH and is greeted by a woman who did her own Pit Stop for Phil. And Phil has a police escort from Indiana into Ohio. Plus, he does another live spot with Bonnie Hunt.

Day 32: Phil goes into Columbus, OH. And this is the day where Phil takes a really bad spill on some slippery railroad tracks. Oh, and Phil shows his nekkid butt.

Day 33: Phil rides tentatively into Dennison, OH. Brad from Brad & Victoria of TAR14 rides with Phil and refuses to say who was responsible for the Luke/Jen push.

Day 34: Phil steams into the Steel City of Pittsburgh and does his video blog from a GNC store. Another former racer, Ray from Ray & Deanna of TAR7 rides with Phil. And on Day 35, Phil is resting. Good for Phil.

That's it for now. More videos through Day 37 can be seen at the Phil Rides Across America site.
