Wheels of Happiness

Last Thursday, I went up with a group of trainees (two ladies) up East Ridge. We walked from Manila East (7 11) till Unamonte where we did the calisthenics. Then I let them walk, as tried to climb up using the SAVA carbon fiber MTB. I seemed to lose lung capacity easily and the pedaling seemed tough. I have to stop some 20 meters away from Unamonte gate 2. We rested there and I rode again. Again the pedaling seemed tough and I had to put the chain ring down to 24. I usually do not stop and use only 32 to get up to the top.
What seemed to be wrong? Well lack of practice. I did not do a lot of East ridge or San Carlos or Medalva climbs. I guess I have to do more of that. I neglected hill climbs
Although today I rode to Antipolo Church using a roadie, I think I did well and managed the fiber tex and Beverly portion well. (As a matter of fact I passed many MTB who seemed to relish on frequent stop) On the way home I passed the diversion. Pero sagad ang sprocket sa 32 (x 39)
