Egan 2026.10 - Oh Deer its a “Sprinter’s” Egan
Egan 2026.09 Results:
We had a great week last week, but unfortunately Strava and Route viewer have not had a great week and the results program hasn’t been able to compile the GC or rider of the day from our Cinco de Moody.
Egan 2026.10 Announcement:
We had fun hitting the steepest slopes last week, but it wasn’t much fun for the “sprinters” or big diesels like me. So this week we will change it up and go for the segments where you really want to get in the train and wait to put the power down. It also turns out a bunch of these segments are named after deer? I dunno but it seemed funny.
Also, the route currently routes down to include a couple new Egan segments, Hanover and Hillview. Leadership reserves the right to call an audible on these if getting down that part of Pagemill doesn’t feel good with a big group. We will make sure the results record appropriately.
Start Times:
