Wheels of Happiness

I had two challenging rides: yesterday and today. Yesterday, I did the Botong Francisco hill climbs at Medalva. I must have done the climb 4x and a distance nearly as long as Taytay. I joined our staff on a PE. And as they climbed, I climbed up, down and climbed again. As they descended, I rode slowly, rode up again and descended with them. I came out of the ride, perspiring one and a half hour after the event.
Today I happened to be towed by Meong on the way to Morong. I still was wearing my slippers but Recyclists tops. We were together until the convention center when he left me. (He rode a road bike) He lost me but I caught up with him after Callahan where he got a flat tire. Then came Weng, Papa Ric and then Ado Gonzaga. I learned that Ado has not biked for the last 1 1/2 months because of kidney stones. He said he got cured by eating apples. Please take note of that cheap cure
On the way back I rode up the diversion and I was able to do the first part of the climb before the bend using 42 x 28 and then completed the climb with 42 x 36 for easier (that was the biggest chain ring. And then I practiced riding with my elbows bent and and forearm straight for speed.
