Egan 2022.07, Tues 4/26
Hi Eganers!
Here is another episode of Tuesday Egan adventure! The route this week consists of a good mixture of short and long segments so you will find some hills that you can thrive on! The main course this week is a quick succession of short segments along Page Mill and we will end on our favorite Egan intersection via La Cresta.
Since we will spend quite a bit of time on Page Mill, I will emphasize again on our yellow line rule and please respect the traffic. Also if you are a new rider, please complete the waiver online (see information below) and we no longer accept printed versions at the start.

What: The Egan Ride used to meet at the Jr. High School, but now meets at the Lincoln Park Rotunda 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.
