Egan 2022.17: TikTok, the long and short of it.
Egan Riders,
Had enough of these longer rides with longer, steeper segments? This week we’ll get back to the basics and do a usual selection of segments in LAH. We call this ride the TikTok ride where we alternate from long to short to long to short segments throughout the ride. This week is not to be missed as I’m sure all of your favorite segments are included. See you tomorrow!

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.
