Egan 2022.24 (Tuesday 8/23, 6pm)
Eganeers,
With the end of summer rapidly approaching, we need to do more with less. In this case we’ll do more climbing within less time and distance. In that spirit I managed to squeeze 12 climbs and 2500ft into 19 miles. We’ll be starting off with three tough ascents off of University and Border and then we’ll have a few more climbs on our way to the infamous 5 ways to the 4 way. Don’t miss it!
Leader: Greg Finley
Summary: 19.3 mi, 2551 ft
