Egan 2022 #18 (Tuesday 7/12, 6pm)
Hello Eganeers!
This week we’ll be headed to south Los Altos Hills and we’ve added four new climbs to the menu! The route has a bunch of short punchy climbs at the beginning and several longer climbs at the end. Will you take it easy on the short ones to save juice for the longer ones? Or will you sprint hard early? We’ll find out next Tuesday, I hope everyone can make it!

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 at 6:00 pm 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 trouble keeping up.
Where: Los Altos Chamber of Commerce. 321 University Ave, Los Altos, CA 94022.
Ride Splitting: If the ride reaches a large enough size, we will split into multiple groups with one group leaving a few minutes after the first. This is for safety, too many folks on some of the smaller roads can be an issue.
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 colored socks on the Egan Ride, and riders are discouraged from riding Egan if they wear conservative socks.
