Egan 2024.02 - 23% more climbing and a photoshoot

This is a reprise of a route created by Greg Finley back in 2022. With the same distance and segment count as last week but 23% more elevation gain, we’ll stay close to home to maximize the evening daylight.

AV photographer Christophe Testi will be doing a photoshoot before the start of the ride at 5:30pm. If you want to participate show up early and wear your Egan jersey!

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.
