Egan 2023.22 - Top Performers
It was a puncheur’s night with over 79 riders, 489 PRs and 4 KOM/QOMs. There is no doubt that Egan is the most popular ride in the Bay Area! Why is Egan so popular? Egan is not a structured workout nor a café ride. I came to the conclusion that Egan is a ”show on two wheels” where both racers and weekend riders join to defy gravity at sunset.
Yesterday’s BIG ring show was super fun with 12 short segments (with KOMs less than 1 minute except one). Simon had so much fun that he repeated the Boronda View Sprint twice (see video below).
Gina Yuan was the rider of the day with 10 PRs, 6 Top 10s, 2 QOMs and top GC honors (just ahead of Robin). Gavin led the men’s GC behind Yann who was taking a nap on the Stirrup Wall. Hannon finished 3rd because he could not find his front derailleur since we cut off his cable.
Also kudos to Tanner and Zack for completing the University Road Race 2023 in Cat 4-5. It was a brutal scorching day to complete 15 laps of this circuit.

Excellent performance from Zach and Tanner at URR 2023. Tanner is a diesel engine that cannot be stopped once launched.
Simon’s leadout on the Boronda View Sprint. 2nd round. Egan leaders having fun. Tanner deserves all the credit since he did the entire 15 laps of URR 2023 on Sunday.
