Egan 2023.01 — Launch is this Thursday 03/30 at 6pm
The end of boredom is finally over! After multiple delayed launches due to crappy weather…we’ve decided to do a soft launch for Egan 2023 this Thursday 3/30 at 6pm. Yes, you read that correctly…this Thursday, NOT Tuesday.
We don’t take this decision lightly because it’s been a long Egan tradition to have the ride on Tuesday evenings. It’s also been a longer tradition to not have weekly atmospheric rivers, so this is our way of giving a collective middle finger to mother nature and demanding the restoration of dryer weather.
PS: The Egan Store is closing is Friday so don’t miss ordering your new jersey.

What: The Egan Ride used to meet at the Jr. High School, but now meets at the Los Altos Chamber of Commerce parking lot every Tuesday (except for this one) at 6:00pm and leaves at 6:05. We regroup and recover after every climb; if you can do OLH in under 25 minutes you should have no problem keeping up.

How: Remember, pace yourself appropriately, there's lots of hills to climb! Pay attention to traffic and don't hog the road. Riders are encouraged to wear garishly covered socks on the Egan Ride, and riders are discouraged from riding Egan if they wear conservative socks.
