Egan 2024.13 - Cupertino
We’ll enjoy this week’s warm weather and venture south into Cupertino. We’ll visit a few familiar hills along the way, passing through Rancho San Antonio on our way to the triple trouble of Regnart, Rainbow’s End, and Lindy. Save something for the last bit of the hill, you’ll definitely need it! Bring lots of water and a wind jacket for the journey back to State of Mind.
To keep the groups well-spaced, please note the following roll times:
A group: roll 6:05
B group: roll 6:08
Womens’ group led by Robin: roll 6:10 (bring a light for the ride home)
Route notes:
On the Loyola segment, keep right onto Berkshire!
Watch out for speed bumps at RSA. Be cautious and point them out to the riders behind you.
Obey the stop light on Regnart - there can be oncoming traffic.
This is a TWO water bottle ride. Please hydrate accordingly since it is a long ride.
When you think “Lindy” is over, it is not! Turn left into trailhead and enjoy the complimentary 26% gradient.

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. (Ladies - the women’s group goes a lot more chill in between hills. If you can do Moody twice at any pace without stopping, you’ll enjoy this group).
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.
