Wheels of Happiness

I rode today to Antipolo and Teresa today and back to Antipolo. I used the fast cadence technique being endorsed by Ed Valdez. I had the gear at 44 x 15 on level road and 44 x 17 going up. I had up to 44 x 26 at Beverly. On the way up I encountered Peter Francisco whom I overtook near Alta Vista and wondered who I was. (Peter is a 68 yo Taytay rider but very fit and strong for his age all due to biking)
I overtook another MTB near Robinson using 44 x 17. But as I rode down, I shifted to 44 x 13 and banked well, rode the apex and the sides exiting the apex. I had my Lugaw at the Teresa curve and as soon as I finished my lugaw, Vhen, whom I talked to yesterday at Wawa arrived.
Going back he said he would follow me and try to see how I do with the low gearing of the Deore. I had my gears at 44 x26 and 44 x 30 max. And also stood at the Solid cement, where I left him. We were totally drenched in sweat. He arrived some 3 minutes later at Robinson where I waited for him. Then we went to Antipolo church. We met Eric Feliciano, who looks like he is a priest, who bikes, and enjoined us to "ingat"
We were home by 10 am.
