2023.8 Top Performers
It was a tough Tuesday and the pain factor increased 2x by climbing some of the most challenging Egan segments. Who will forget climbing Golden Oak at sunset blinded by the last sun rays of the day and gasping for air? But the best was waiting for us at the top of John Marthens Lane….
Egan by the numbers:
72 ice creams: gone!
48 Gatorades: gone!
40 bottles of water: gone!
1 surprise birthday party for Akin: done! (see video below)
Egan volunteer of the day: Simon Parton, who stored all the drinks and ice creams in his fridge few days earlier. Then he cut the ride short to bring all the above to the top of John Marthens Lane. Give kudos to Simon next time you see him on a ride. Great guy that embodies the true Egan spirit!
For all of you who are not members of Alto Velo and regularly attend the Egan ride, we invite and welcome you to join AV as reciprocal appreciation for all the hard work that the club does to organize these rides.
Julien Amblard was rider of the day with PRs on all 9 segments and 2 top 10s! Gina Yuan got 8 PRs and took the top spot in the women’s GC. Jack Liu snagged the men’s GC. We had a total of 439 PRs!
