Egan 2026.03 - Springing Upwards
Egan 2026.02 Results:
Last week was a classic midsummer Egan - 88°F at the start, sun beating down, stray photographers along the course .. wait what’s that? The Spring equinox is not until this Friday? The sun set at 7:17? Uh-oh!
Despite the early heat we had a wonderful turnout for 2026.02 with 79 recorded riders scoring 256 PRs over 7 segments. Rider of the day was Markús Diehl with 7/7 PRs. Robin Betz took the top spot for the women’s GC and Wil Gibb took the top spot on the men’s GC with 3 PRs plus a top 10.

Egan 2026.03 Announcement:
Spring is now officially here so we’re winding it up with 8 segments and a teensy bit more elevation gain. We’ll take a different approach to the 4 corners and then loop our way up to Foothills Park to try to catch the sunset.
