This week's Egan is about dichotomy - we will be hitting two of the longer climbs of the season with a cluster of short ones in between. We begin with some warmup segments on our way to an extended Blandor segment, a climb that only gets steeper. We then drop down into the University and Country Club areas for a series of punchy short climbs before heading back to Blandor as a digestif.
