Egan 2023.23 - Moody Blues

Egan Riders,

Got the Moody Blues? If last week’s ‘Le Puncheur’ big ring sprinters route got you down, then this week’s route is aimed to please all the endurance climbers in the group. Noting that last week there was only one segment over a minute, this week has only one segment under a minute. Don’t attack the beginning of each segment unless you enjoy and can endure that lactate acid buildup in your legs!

Note: If you’re wondering how to show up in the results, here’s how it works:

• Join the Egan club on Strava: https://www.strava.com/clubs/

• Upload your ride that evening (the results are tabulated early Wednesday mornings)

• In your privacy controls, make sure that everyone can see your activities (if you’re worried about privacy, Strava has other settings such as restricting your profile page to followers and map start/end point visibility)

• You have to complete all segments to show up in the GC

What: The Egan Ride 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 colored socks on the Egan Ride, and riders are discouraged from riding Egan if they wear conservative socks.
