Egan 2025.08 - Mora or Less an Au Revoir, Simon!
Annoucements: The Egan Stores are opened! Order your 2025 kit. Order your Egan socks! Join AV! 3rd AV winner for the $100 Eliel coupon on Tuesday at the top of Mora!
tl;dr: Mora was requested, more it is. Come say au revoir to Simon who has been banished to SF.
This week will be sending off our own Simon on an Egan Sabbatical, and so will visit his very favorite climb by request: Mora. Will he be riding the Brompton or the pink bike with a rubber ducky assistant on the handlebars? There’s only one way to find out and that’s by joining us on Tuesday for some good times on eleven lucky hills. While the hills are numerous, they are thankfully on the shorter side with the grand finale on Mora. Do all the hills for the GC rankings but also to learn which lucky Egan attendee gets this week’s $100 Eliel coupon at the top of our final hill.
Fear not if you cannot attend as Simon is merely moving to SF and is not lost to us forever, but merely on weekdays.
