Egan 2022.19 - The Death Ride Edition

Bonjour Eganeers!

This week we will show respect to the Death Ride that took place last Saturday. The good news is that we will only do 1/4 of its elevation. We might add random stealth segments if we feel Moody on Tuesday. Enjoy the Egan show!

Ride Safety:

  • Riders must be fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19.

  • Riders should carry a Medical ID that contains your name and emergency contact information. Additional helpful information includes any medical history. Two IDs are preferable.

  • Riders must wear a helmet.

  • Riders are always responsible for their own safety.

  • Look for yourself for cars and other road users, and OBEY TRAFFIC rules – you are responsible

  • Do NOT cross the centerline.

  • No Aero Bar use

  • No Ear Buds or non-transparent headphone use. It is important that you are able to hear warning calls and approaching traffic.

  • Important Note for Non Alto Velo members: If you are planning to attend Egan in 2022, please complete the online waiver at: https://www.bikereg.com/alto-velo-guest-waiver. Save your QR Code to confirm registration.

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.
