Egan 2024.10 - Ravensbury Side Quests

This Tuesday is the 10th installment of Egan for the year! By some coincidence we had a strong interest in segments on and around Ravensbury for this week, resulting in a ride of less traveled side quests. While there will be shorter travels between segments it also means less rest so keep pacing in mind as we get to the bulk of it. And would it be an Egan ride in that area without at least one trip up Blandor? Remember that the AV Photo Contest will be running through July 4 so keep your eye out for great photo opportunities!

To keep the groups well-spaced, please note the following roll times:

• A group: roll 6:05

• B group: roll 6:08
