Egan 2022.20 (Revised)
Attention - some of the segments were out of order in the route viewer and prior post. Please save and star the updated route and segment list below. See you tomorrow!
Hello Eganeers!
For all those that enjoyed Terun Pizza after the B ride please consider making a donation to support this worthy cause - https://tourdefox.michaeljfox.org/virtual/FrancoTerun. Kristjan (Terun Chef/partner) has been diagnosed with Parkinson Disease. He is doing a challenge for the Michael J Fox Foundation on Saturday August 27th and we are trying to raise as much money as possible.
For this week's ride we are going to take it a bit easier this week as we recover from Napoleon’s Death Ride Revenge +2 ride and the Bike Hut Classic. We will be doing 14 fantastic segments through hills of Los Altos and Palo Alto. I hope everyone can make it!

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.
