No Granny Gear

I scored a few nice pieces of mountain bike gear for my birthday this year.  I got a Giro Hex helmet and a pair of Serfas Astro shoes.  These new shoes are super stiff, I was hoping that they would make a difference in power transfer.  Each pedal did feel stronger.  Up findley I didn't have to shift down to the granny gear, which was a big accomplishment for me.  Of course I was using number 8 gear instead of number 9.  I realized that I probably need to get some new in soles for my new shoes, they inserts aren't that comfortable...  I am thinking about riding to the Oregon Caves.  My family would meet me over there- about 27 miles, but a pretty good climb I'm sure.
