Egan 2024.21 - Twin Peaks

Although the days are getting shorter, there’s still no letup in the intensity for Egan #21. Matt’s route features one of our favorite segments, Blandor/Olive Tree, not just once but twice! If that climb doesn’t make you stronger the first time, it will kill you the second time (metaphorically speaking, of course).

Leaders: The Egan Collective (Akin, Jerome, Matt, Mike, Robin and Tanner)

Start Times: Tuesday at 6PM meet up at the Los Altos Chamber of Commerce. First group rolls at 6:05 and the second group at 6:08PM. Start times as follows:
