Egan 2025.04 - DIY Edition

Written By Matt Bierbaum

tl;dr: This week’s ride is DIY due to weather.

We’ve had a good streak so far this year, with the worst of the weather landing on either side of Tuesday. Alas, with the call for moderate wind and rain tomorrow, official Egan ride has been scrubbed for this week! No, no, don’t let the date fool you, we will continue with our regularly scheduled programming next week. For those intrepid enough to continue, may we offer the following amuse-bouche and the hope you find some like-minded individuals awaiting you at the usual time and place.

Coming soon! If you’re finding this announcement taxing, then you’ll love April 15th: the early season banquet will be held at State of Mind. More details to follow!
