Egan 2023.13 - The Death Ride Edition
Bonjour Eganeers!
This is a repeat from last year. Saddly, you will be utterly disappointed because I will not add surprise segments along the way. We will only do 1/4 of the Death Ride Elevation with some punchy back-to-back sprints along the way. My favorite one is definitly the puncheur combo, Madonna and Quinhill, a perfect Egan apéritif. If you plan to attend the Death Ride on July 15th, connect with us on Slack and join the 2023 Death Ride channel.
Make sure to take a lot of pictures at Foothill Park and tag us on IG at https://www.instagram.com/eganrideclub/

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.
