Hello gang -
Well, my new front chain rings have been installed and let me tell you, they are grand!
I made it up Old Tunnel Rd last night with just 1 (yes, one!) stop! On previous rides up that hill, I have to stop 5 or more times over 4 or so miles of climbing. So I am very pleased with the new gearing - I was able to spin instead of grind most of the way - what a difference. Got rid of the suspension seat post, and I think that's helping also.
I feel a little more confident about giving Mt. Diablo a try.
Would Saturday July 30 work for any of you guys? Sunday the 31st won't work for me, unfortunately. I am also free the weekend after (8/6-7) if that is better.
The other thing is - how early could we start? I know some of you have a long drive to Mt. Diablo, but I am a little worried about the heat - my body doesn't seem to regulate temperature very well when it's hot... So I don't think any start time would be too early for me...
So - any thoughts? I'm looking forward to giving this a shot!

Since I'm, unfortunately, not going anywhere, I'm free either weekend. Maybe the time can be determined closer to the ride date, based on how hot it will be.
