Ride up to Welcome arch of Antipolo (before Beverly Hills) and bringing F10 bike for installation of new Campy Super `11 brifters by Jess V

Wheels of Happiness

This post biked at 8:00 am up to Welcome arch of Antipolo 9.3 km one way) (hill climbs practice:   Tower Hills, Marian Seminary and Fibertex) and then went down to Nieves Hills residence of Jess Verchez for the installation of  Campy from Sir Jun Vic (11 speed) to replace my broken set:  with broken hood after a car door opening in Pililla about a year ago, and broken padle last month

This post happened to ask sir VM if he had spare set (I heard he replacd bikes he bought and resold with Durace) and he said yes (that was last Thursday after the Bisikleta Iglesia)  He said he would have the set brought to Jess that afternoon.  

I told them I would bring the bike-  Pinarello Dogma F10  by today Black Saturday.   Unfortunately Jess said a Torx probably T30 is needed  Fortunately I have a complete set and went home to get the same.  

If nothing goes wrong I would get the bike by Sunday or Monday morning.  Great.

Finally the Pinarello would be 100% to be proud of once again.  

Let us all be blessed and continue to be a blessing for others.

I rode to Antipolo City today at 7:15 today.  It was a hard gear ride.  I only used the 44 front chain ring through out the ride with 32 sprocket. at Beverly Hills.It was 25 at other parts of the climb.   I had the SAVA MTB blessed.  All that was needed was a donation. It gives you certain confidence that you and the bike are blessed to be kept safe from harm.

Later I had a conversation with a young rider from Taguig who wore a SAVA jersey,(he claim he is member of RP youth team but had to lie low because of work) and somebody from Teresa who knew about Audax.

Bike ride on Black Saturday yesterday, April 4, 2015

I rode to Antipolo yesterday.  It was a little bit late because I hesitated.  I met an accident on a Black Saturday after biking from Baguio on Holy Thursday and Good Friday.  The olds tell us that is wrong/bad to leave on Holy Week lest travel accidents befall us during our travel.

And so I rode to Antipolo church when I learned from Vhen's family after biking to Wawa.   As I have said, I felt general weakness since last Sunday due to high BS, and lack of practice.  And so climbing up Antipolo which before was a breeze, was a burden and involved a lot of huffing and ;puffing.  I had a  roadie with 53 x39 chain ring so the more it was challenging.

I biked to Antipolo yesterday up to Lores, via the Kaytikling Cabrera road.  This is the home of the DECS, Provincial Jail of Rizal, and the Sto Rosario Memorial Park.  It is rather a challenging and steep ride, more challenging than the Fibertex, Beverly Hills Climb to Antipolo

There are 3 hills:  the one at ABC building, then the next one at Victory Church, and the 3rd one after the 2nd gate of Maharlika .  It is about 2 km, the last 500 meters that turns sharply to the left leaves you breathless.

It rained while I was climbing this and before I had to stop 3x for this ride, this time I did this without dismounting
