Egan 2022.25 - Le Puncheur - George’s Special Edition
Eganeers,
This week we are going to celebrate George’s Cat 3 upgrade. Since George likes to climb on a big ring, we will do only short sprints, but a lot of them! We will squeeze as many as time allows. It will easier so you do not have to “sandbag” your efforts on a small ring. Count as many climbs you do on a big rig and post it on your Strava feed. Extra bonus if you climb Horseshoe Ct on a big ring. Unfortunately, no time for stealth segments this week. Don’t forget to congratulate George when you see him!
