It is all go for Baguio ride this Friday; some practice still needed?

It is the start of Lenten season and start of Panagbenga in Baguio.  Two days from now, on Friday, February 20,  we start trek to Baguio City. We ride to Urdaneta Pangasinan a distance of 200 km.

Today, I need some brushing up on my hill climb by doing the Mahabang Parang Hills near La Farge.  I climbed this hill at 7:00 am.  I fear naman na baka ma over ako?

I guess I am much stronger  today, as I negotiated up to the bend without stopping and much still to spare.  This is as near as the Lions Head you can get, (at Kennon Road)  If you can ride this up with ease, you can do Baguio City

                       More uphill climb; but easier to pedal
