Egan 2025.07 - Top Performers

Annoucements:

Despite having no pizza nor popsicles on the ride, we had a huge turnout. Pure heresy for one of the toughest Egan route! We had 104 riders more than last week. Actually, Christopher counted at least 117 riders with 746 PRs compared to 699 last week. The A group (54) and B group (63) were evenly balanced. Amongst the 9 fearless women attacking those challenging segments, Janene O joined the A group for the first time and wore her pink Egan socks, which gave her an unfair advantage to get PRs on Madonna, Wild Crest, Briones and Sirrup. We would not make any claim but we heard that you can gain 5-10 watts per socks as tested by the Egan engineering team.

Rider of the day was Martin Szwarc with all 12 PRs and 1 top 10s, also taking the top spot of the men’s GC! Top of the women’s GC was Rachel Hwang with 5 PRs! Who is going to dethrone Rachel?

Reminder: The Egan store is open once again until 04/22: 2025 Egan Store. James R was the first winner of a $100 Eliel / Egan store coupon as a small token of our appreciation. James volunteers and run the Top Performance report every week. Thank you James! There are 3 more coupons remaining so to participate, join AV and show up at the next Egan.

Note: If you’re wondering how to show up in the results, here’s how it works:

  • Upload your ride that evening (the results are tabulated early Wednesday mornings)

  • In your privacy controls, make sure that everyone can see your activities (if you’re worried about privacy, Strava has other settings such as restricting your profile page to followers and map start/end point visibility)

  • You have to complete all segments to show up in the GC
