Today I did the Orinda-Palomares ride again, for the first time since early June. This is one of my favorite rides in the east bay, but it's really a spring or fall ride (it's a bit too warm in the summer for it). I got a chance to try out my new cassette on the climb up Palomares Road, and I was pleased that the additional granny gear on the new cassette really made a difference on the steep sections. I used to wish I had just one lower gear on some of these climbs, and now I do! Whee!
