Oh, I thought it might be because you were putting Butt Butter on Phil's sore behind.

hmm no Twitters from Phil but heres the Early Show update

FRIDAY MORNING ON THE EARLY SHOW
In March, "Amazing Race" host and self-proclaimed extreme adventure-seeker, Phil Keoghan embarked on a 40-day, 3,500-mile bike ride across America. He kicked off the tremendous tour in Santa Monica, California, and Friday morning he'll be on OUR coast to finish things off at The Early Show! The New Zealand native will chat with us about the tour, the sights, and the bumps along the road. You won't want to miss hearing about this amazing journey.

Peach is prominent in most of the camera shots of David Price, Harry Smith and Maggie Rodriguez for Phil's still expected arrival at the Plaza in front of CBS in Manhattan.

apskip · « **Reply #188 on:** May 08, 2009, 07:47:57 AM »

It's over. I watched Phil arrive at the Early Show at 841am. Harry smith stated that Phil had not been eliminated. Dave Price has the best line "U-turn?" Phil staated that he had raised over $400,000 for M.S.

Koeghan

Wraps Up Amazing Bike Ride
"Amazing Race" Host Crosses Finish Line On Early Show Plaza; Rode 3,500 Miles Raising Funds For MS Research

(CBS) The finale of the latest season of "The Amazing Race" will be broadcast Sunday night.

Call it coincidence -- or the successful execution of perfectly planned timing -- but "Race" host Phil Keoghan concluded an amazing journey of his own Friday -- crossing the finish line in The Early Show plaza of a 3,500 mile, cross-country bike ride that raised funds for Multiple Sclerosis research.

His "Ride Across America" kicked off March 28 in Los Angeles and took him through 39 cities over those 45 days. The ride was sponsored by GNC.

Keoghan raised $400,000 in all. That works out to more than $100 per mile!

He says the best part of the trip was the thousands and thousands of people he and his fellow riders met along the way. "Amazing Race" fans came from everywhere to show their support. People who live with MS every day were in each of the cities, rooting them on.

The worst part? Getting sick in Nebraska and having to go to an emergency room and have saline drips, then having to get up the next morning and pump out 100 miles with essentially little or no water. He couldn't stomach anything.

It was, says Keoghan, definitely the hardest physical challenge of his life. He averaged 100 miles a day which, he concedes, gets pretty grueling after awhile.

Sorry about not providing the Tweets yesterday. My AC adapter for my computer broke and my notebook has an exceedingly short battery life.

Saw a scruffy man closing the NYSE on the news this morning (from Friday, before the weekend market break), and OH MY HECK IS THAT PHIL?

apskip · « **Reply #195 on:** May 11, 2009, 01:23:08 PM »

Yes, not only is that Phil but the lovely lady to his left (to the right in our view) is his wife Louise. Here are several other pictures of the NYSE bell-ring event:

Phil Rings the NYSE Bell

Phil fans will cherish these pictures since they are nuts (puddin, is that you listening in on this conversation; Peach?) about Phil.

OMG! CBS actually uploaded Days 20 & 21 so I have added them to this post.

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #197 on:** May 11, 2009, 10:02:21 PM »

Let's continue from Day 35.

This is Day 36. Phil goes from Pittsburgh, PA into Frostburg, MD. Phil goes up some 11,500 feet. Wow. And Phil loses it a bit.

Day 37: Phil finds out that he could have ridden a nice path into Frostburg. Well, they ride on that path into Cumberland, MD. Phil goes into a steam train, then rides his bike into Hagerstown, MD.

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #198 on:** May 11, 2009, 10:50:13 PM »

Day 40: Phil is heading out from Baltimore after riding from Hagerstown to DC to the Charm City. He heads into Philadelphia and meets up with Brenda from TAR1!

Day 41: We've reached the end of an amazing ride. Phil leaves Philly and rides into New York City. Phil pays tribute to the crew that has followed him across the country.

Thank you, Phil! Great job and this has been fun updating you with the Tweets and the videos. It was my idea to do the Tweets. puddin forced me to do the videos.

I'm joking about being forced. She actually gave me a push because I had no idea they were up on YouTube.

So we're done with the videos. I'm taking the summer off. I'll see you all in the fall.

TARAsia Fan · « **Reply #199 on:** May 13, 2009, 08:35:22 AM »

There's a cool highlight video that was produced by the same people who did the daily video blogs. It has been posted on sites other than the official Phil Rides Across America site. When it's posted on YouTube, I'll put it up here. And Phil's wife is very hot.
