Egan Ride 2024.05 — Let’s get Moody
For the fifth episode of Egan, we will revisit a few familiar hills and then move on to some Egan classics - we’ll tackle the unrelenting steepness of Moody for the first time this year, followed by some steep segments off Page Mill.
Robin will lead a women’s group this week with secret intel on all the segments and a very chill pace in between. If you can make it up Moody twice without stopping and are comfortable riding with others, you can keep up with this group! Please bring lights and a layer for the ride home as we will finish around sunset.
To keep the groups well-spaced, please note the following roll times:
A group: roll 6:05
B group: roll 6:08
Women’s group: roll 6:10
Leader: The Egan Collective (Akin, Jerome, Matt, Mike, Robin and Tanner)
Route: 20.41 mi, 2513 ft
