Egan 2023.24 - Two by Four
Eganeers,
This week’s route is all about finding the middle ground after the big ring power of ‘Le Puncheur’ and the little ring grinding of ‘Moody Blues.’ We’ll do two sets of four intervals where each interval increases in length. Those that are able to balance the varied intensity will be rewarded with the best views of the sunset after the final segment.
