Egan 2024.28 - Season Finale
Weep ye bitter tears, for the season of Eganing is coming to an end. This Tuesday we will be riding the traditional First and Last Route with Jerome’s favorite pop singer addition (Madonna!). It’s short, but that just means you can go harder on each segment; we expect to see many PRs and cups, and hopefully a few crowns. Your efforts could be rewarded with some tasty treats at the end, but only if you go full gas and have something crazy on you (like a panda helmet) or your bike (pink tassels)!
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, followed by the second group at 6:08 and women’s group at 6:10. Start times as follows:
Egan A Group @ 6:05
Egan B Group @ 6:08
Egan Women’s Group @ 6:10
And don’t free up that Tuesday evening slot on your calendar just yet! Tuesday, September 24th will be the traditional end-of-season banquet; details to follow.
