Wheels of Happiness

I had long lasting fatigue until Friday ever since I did a long ride to Majayjay on a MTB. May be because of the weight of the bike (although it is a carbon fiber) the wind resistance or the road friction, I had to exert more effort and energy.
Yesterday I rode up Eastridge using my Ti MTB. Now I no longer fear nor hesitate climbing up Eastridge. Kayang kaya ng MTB.
But for today;s weekend ride, Sunday, I brought out the Binachi road bike. The difference in the ease of riding was very much felt. I had not ridden a road bike for about a month. The tires of the Fuji carbon fiber were flat.
I passed about 3 dozens MTB and they were riding 29 ers and were not slow. But in the end I was ahead of everybody on the way to Morong. On the way back, I passed at diversion (kaya din ng road bike) and the MTB whom I passed (from Taguig - Ridley club) were still there. That is what you call the road bike advantage
