Wheels of Happiness

My muscle, joints, knees and hips still ache from excesses of last Sunday race. I slept soundly last night until this morning and yet I decided to have a practice ride to Sampaloc.
I stopped at KM 64 and decided to make a turn for Daranak falls which I thought was a simple ride. But no. It was as if I rode straight to Sampaloc and even worse than that. There was a return route that was not unlike Majayjay. True to the prediction of an old woman, I had to walk about 200 meters to the summit near Aurora sign. It would not have been had I not answered a query from somebody in Innova who inquired where Daranak falls was (Naturally I had to stop. It is difficult to restart from a middle of an incline. I had to find spot where I could start sideways/crosswise)
I would have made 90 km distance today, plus a degree of difficulty of about 4 (out of 5)
By Friday, I would do a right turn for Jarels peak.
