Egan 2026.06 - A Moon Mission

Written By Alto Velo

Egan 2026.05 Results:

Last week saw 89 riders with 518 PRs! That’s a significant increase from the previous week. With the return of good weather, we anticipate fresh legs will result in even more PRs this week.

Leading the way as the top Women’s rider and Rider of the day was Gina Yuan with 3 top 10s. Wil Gibb took the top spot on the men’s GC with 7 PRs, 3 cups, and a KOM! Rider of the day was Charles Hood with PRs on all 9 segments and top 10s on four of them.

Congrats to all finishers.

Egan 2026.05 Announcement:

This week has 11 classic Egan segments, on a variation of the notorious “Three Body Problem” route from last year. We’ll start with some segments that are more often seen at the end of Egan: Madonna, Quinhill, and Summerhill, so bring fresh legs and your leadout squad. We’ll wander through Los Altos hills with some classic out and backs along the way before ending up at Page Mill road and the notorious Altamont Circle KOM. Finally we’ll hit up two more segments off Page Mill before ending up on the Moon (via Stirrup/Saddle of course).
