Egan 2024.22

This week’s Egan route is untitled. Because I couldn’t think of a cool name. But that doesn’t mean the ride will be easy or uninteresting. From the shortest segment (Emerald Hill Lane @ 0.08 miles) to the longest (Altamont @ 1 mile), it will test your legs & lungs.

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:

• Egan A Group @ 6:05

• Egan B Group @ 6:08
