Whenever I climb SCH and climb Gate 2 (the one that leads to the Sacred Heart church) the steepest part of the climb to SCH, they say you can only climb that using the triplet or the granny gear. And sure enough the last times I ascended that hill, I used 24 x 28 or 32.
This morning though I used 32 x 36 and it was more than enough. How did I know I can do this?
Last week I tried the diversion the Morong side using 42 x 36. I was able to do this comfortably. Early this week, I tried the foot of the SCH II using 42 x 32. I was able to negotiate the same well.
So if I shift to 32, I concluded I could do this. Morever, I can do 5 to 10 minutes standing on the trainer using 39 x 17 on medium heavy setting. That is strength and endurance.

Baka kako natsambahan ko lang. Sinubukan ko while nagjogging mga kasamahan ako. Kaya pa rin. Maski maulan at madulas
