Egan 2025.23 - XL La Punition
Since two Egan Leaders will be MIA tomorrow (Michael and Matt — not that we’re naming names), you all deserve a treat: an XL edition of La Punition. We’ll sprinkle in some extra stealth segments if you misbehave on Tuesday, so consider yourselves warned. Yes, I am not kidding. Be sure to thank Michael and Matt for these “gifts” when they return. Tomorrow’s adventure: a field trip to Wayside, followed by a scenic cruise through Los Trancos. Expect some punchy climbs and a couple of longer segments — something for everyone.
I almost forgot… it is Jonathan’s birthday today. He will lead the EE Ride. Do not forget to sing happy birthday at the top of each climb!
