Egan Ride
The 2024 Egan season is over! Mark your calendars for the 2025 season: Tuesday, March 11th, 2025
Bored with structured training? Increase your fitness with hill intervals! Welcome to Egan, a fun, social yet competitive group of eclectic hill climbers. We charge steep uphills and banter during recovery. Each week is a new route featuring challenging short climbs in the beautiful hills of Silicon Valley.
Join the Egan Ride Club on Slack to stay informed about rides and chat with other Egan riders!
Start: Tuesdays 6:00pm during daylight saving time at the Los Altos Chamber of Commerce, rolling at 6:05pm
Pace: Charge the hills, slow roll in between
Regroups: We regroup and recover after every climb; if you can climb Old La Honda in 25 minutes you should have no problem keeping up

Egan Ride 2023.02 — The Egan Official Launch is this Tuesday, April 4th at 6pm!
At last, the weather forecast looks clear for Tuesday! We will ride as usual starting at 6pm from the Los Altos Chamber of Commerce. We are starting this season with an environmental/sustainable/green (ESG) theme using recycled routes from last year in about the same order. 2023.02 was designed by Greg Finley who will be missed as part of the Egan Leadership Team this year. We’ll give this approach a try and see how it goes.
As this is the first official Egan launch, plan on joining us for pizza and libations after the ride at State of Mind at 101 North Plaza in the Los Altos Village.

Eganeers,
Damn the weather, the 2023 season has officially started! It wasn’t a bad turnout considering we gave only 2 days notice.

Egan 2023.01 — Launch is this Thursday 03/30 at 6pm
The end of boredom is finally over! After multiple delayed launches due to crappy weather…we’ve decided to do a soft launch for Egan 2023 this Thursday 3/30 at 6pm. Yes, you read that correctly…this Thursday, NOT Tuesday.
We don’t take this decision lightly because it’s been a long Egan tradition to have the ride on Tuesday evenings. It’s also been a longer tradition to not have weekly atmospheric rivers, so this is our way of giving a collective middle finger to mother nature and demanding the restoration of dryer weather.
PS: The Egan Store is closing is Friday so don’t miss ordering your new jersey.

The Climbing Ride, March 26 - Climate Change Sucks
Well will you look at that, a Sunday where the forecast doesn’t look like Seattle in December. If we were sensible people we’d go to the park with our loved ones and bask in the sunshine. But we’re not sensible. We’re idiots who enjoy self flagellation. So we’re going to haul our bikes up the dumbest hill in the South Bay, and we’re going to take the long way up.

The Climbing Ride, December 11 - Questionable Decisions
The forecast for Sunday is extremely dicey, but this will be my last chance to lead a Climbing Ride until mid-January, so I’m at least going to schedule it. If it’s actively raining at 08:30 I’ll stay home; descending 15% grades in the wet is a fool’s game. I’m also going for the most conservative and close-to-home route, in case we get caught in the rain. So, uhh, with all that optimism in the air it’s sure to be a fun-fest.

The Climbing Ride, November 27 - Regrettable Choices
I had an unfortunate encounter with a slippery root on an MTB trail in Henry Cowell last week and thus was in no condition to lead a ride on the 20th. We’ll try again this weekend, on the assumption that I’ll refrain from pitching myself bodily onto the dirt between now and Sunday morning. Come on down and laugh at your own and other’s regrettable choices in recreation. Hauling your carcass up half a dozen absurd walls is a great way to work off excess turkey & stuffing.

The Climbing Ride, October 23 - More Pointless Suffering
Ride up a dead end road, gasp, squint at the view, do it again. And again. Lather, rinse, repeat, go home, swear at your legs, swear at the damn ride leader, question your sanity, pencil the next ride into your calendar. Ours is not to ask why.
Short route this week, so you’re expected to hit the hills hard from the start. The next day is a work day so it’s not like you’re saving your legs for anything.

Aero wheels and titanium bikes are important when you climb Montebello.

Egan 2022 Season Recap
Dear friends,
It has been a busy season at Egan 2022. After a sad beginning with James’ sendoff to Australia, we kept the show going. We dodged many obstacles from fire, smoke, and extreme heat waves to a near mutiny. But at last, we completed an entire season of pain and suffering during the summer’s golden hour. We are grateful for this amazing cycling community.

27 customized rides, each week featuring a different route, with 27 recon rides by leaders = 54 total Egan rides
Total elevation gain: 2.4 times Mt. Everest!

Total PRs: 5,509 or 204 PRs per week
Total KOMs: 54 or 2 per week
Total participants: 160 riders
Average riders per week: 43. Most ever in one ride: 63 (underestimate, since not everyone has joined Egan on Strava)

Egan 2022.27 - Top Performers
Rider of the Day was Cam O’Reilly with 7 PRs, 2 Top 10s, and 2 KOMs. Dude looks fast standing still and I couldn’t even see him once he got moving.
Big turnout this week, maybe the largest of the year. I’m sure they all came to hear me bloviate; certainly not because it was the last chance for an Egan Ride in 2022. Seems like every fast rider in the AV orbit showed up to throw down — you know the competition was fierce when George & Steven don’t even make the top ten!

Egan 2022.27 - Last Rites with Dirk
Weep ye bitter tears, for the season of Eganing is coming to an end. To mark this solemn occasion the Leadership Cabal has asked me, a priest of the Elder Gods, to perform the last rites. This Tuesday I will be leading the traditional First and Last Route. It’s short, but that just means you can go harder on each segment; I expect to see many PRs and cups, and hopefully a few crowns. Come on down and get in one last fling before cold and darkness cover the land.
Do not despair, for there will be regular doses of gravity-assisted suffering in the off-season. I’ll be leading the bi-weekly Climbing Ride on alternate Sundays. Imagine an Egan route, but horribly stretched out; climbs several minutes long and comically steep. First ride will probably be October 2nd.
And don’t free up that Tuesday evening slot on your calendar just yet! Next week will be the traditional end-of-season banquet; details to follow.

Egan 2022.26 Top Performers
Rider of the Day was Whitman Kwok with 10 PRs out of 10 Segments. Congrats all!
This week we caught the tail end of the heat wave. Temperature at the start of the ride was 100F, but quickly dropped below 90F by the end of the ride. We were fortunate enough to be in the shadows of the sunset for most of the ride as the segments got longer/steeper as the ride went on. Thanks to Rhodes for calling out the water spout at the top of Magdalena. It was a well deserved rest stop before AND after Blandor Olive Tree.
Rider of the Day was Whitman Kwok with 10 PRs out of 10 Segments. Apparently he was the only one who kept his head ‘cool’ throughout the ride with his 3D printed KAV helmet. Congrats all!
