Wheels of Happiness

I had a practice ride at Botong Francisco Highway (going up Medalva and formerly Monark). yesterday, February 25, 2016 That is where Heraldville is located. It is about 9 hill climbs in all: 3 x 2 on the Botong Francisco, 4 inside Monark, and 2 at Twin Hills. The Botong Francisco uphill are long and steep (about 15%). Those inside Monark could be about 20% and also long. You have to be patient pedalling.
It was lung and thigh strengthening going up Kennon road especially the Lions Head
I had to walk up a short portion of the Botong Francisco when the chain derailed. As you can see, it is difficult to restart the bike when you are going up. You have to find a spot where you can bike sideways and then ride up again. It has to be near Medalva all ready.
The SAVA mtb which I brought is efficient and trustworthy. The chain jumped because I turned the cable for the RD too tight. Once I loosened it a bit....
