Changes for my main ride

Just a few more weeks to go and my donations are coming along nicely. Thanks all very much for all the generous checks and donations. A big special thanks to Edwin for the very, very generous donation. It pushed me over the top, though I am still digging for more.

On the biking front I am thinking about changing out my 12/25 cassette for a cheater 11/29 to deal with the mountains in Israel. I can find a standard 12/27 but though my research I think an 11/29 will do me better since I'm not the strongest rider and I want to stay up with the Chalutzim group. Any other bikers out there that has any feedback on my cassette choice? My crankset is a 30/52 triple so the 30/29 should give me a good 1.0 ratio. The only problem is that I think the 11/29 will be a custom job and that might be some $$$$. Ain't nothing in life free.
