Wheels of Happiness
Rizal Philippines October 1, 2015
I have been out on a provincial trip, thus no bike ride Monday and Tuesday, and yesterday, because I was tired and poofed out.
So today I rode despite signs that the weather disturbance is here (expect bad weather today till Friday) It started to have shower in Binangonan and became a drizzle near Mambog. I stopped at a waiting shed, where I was later joined by Peter of BCC, and another companion whose name I did not get. They had MTB and remarked that I too had MTB gears. When the rain stopped, they rode off and was behind by some 15 seconds and disappeared downhill
I went up via the diversion in Cardona which I managed easily at 32 x 28. I rode down to Morong just to see them pass by.; I caught up with them at Morong town proper near Save More and overtook them at Namay. I was planning to stop in Morong but the momentum was there, I rode until km 54 in Tanay. I led the two from Morong to Baras to the hill crest of Baras Morong boundary. And I gave up the chase and the peloton at km 54 right before the SSS office in Tanay.
I returned to Morong hoping to get some Lugaw at Simples. But then it was 8:30 and their store was closed. I went to the memorial park where I met with the marketing staff and the engineer. It rained hard again. When it stopped it was time to ride back via Cardona.
I rode back again via the diversion. I used the 32 x 28 gears again. It was easy uphill climb wiithout the lung and thigh burning experience.
I did about 5 sprints/interval training: one going up to Island gas, one going up Binangonan convention center, one going up Mambog (Montevideo) one going up Namay, and one at Baras Morong hillcrest. I hope I get faster and stronger?
