I had forgotten how bad Palomares is! How steep is that thing? And how long? It just keeps going, and going, and going, at what must be a 12 percent grade. It's much harder than the Calaveras wall, which of course on the Primavera you get to early in the ride.

This was a great ride, though. The riding around the Calaveras resevoir is beautiful, and so fun. And the veggie lasagna and brownies at the end were yummy!

Two thumbs up from me.
