Egan 2022.26 - Extreme Heat Advisory! Only 2 rides left.

Eganeers,

So far this season we’ve been blessed with near perfect weather; no rain, no smoke and very mild temperatures. It seems our good fortune has run out as this week is going to be hot, I mean very hot, like in the 100s. Please come prepared with hydration and whatever you need to ride in extreme heat. We will take it slow and extend regroup times as needed. We may also decide to cut the ride short if heat exhaustion becomes a concern. Again, the goal this week as it is every week is to finish the ride on your bike at the finish, well except for Dirk who gets to lie down at the end…. This week's route details as follows.

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 6:00pm 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 problem keeping up.

Where: Los Altos Chamber of Commerce. 321 University Ave, Los Altos, CA 94022

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 covered socks on the Egan Ride, and riders are discouraged from riding Egan if they wear conservative socks.
