Wheels of Happiness

This post challenged myself doing hill climbs.

1.   Montevideo -  Did the uphill at the sloping entrnce.   Tumukod

2.   Mamboy -  did two hill climbs

3.  Macamot -   Kasinay -  there were 4 uphill climbs.

Kaya pa.  May ibubuga pa.

Rode up to Cardona KM 40, then went up Kasinay via Macamot using large (52) chain rings

Its Sunday and rode light today -  up to KM 40 in Cardona.  On the way back, I tried again my legs to Macamot and  and Kasinay using large chain ring.   I stalled in one of the climbs and walked about 10 meters on large chain ring.   For the rest of two climbs where I did tulak, I shifted to 36t chain rings.

My calf and thighs ache now

Climbed long and steep roads of Ynares avenue at Binangonan; I was able to handle this without "tulak"

I had an appointment with an agent this morning who said he would show me a property at Kasinay.  I biked through Quarry Road and went up via Ynares Avenue.  You turn right after passing through Sunnyvale 2.

I broke my chain on my way up here the first time.   Its only 200 meters ascent.  So it has been awhile since and never really tried to climb this.  The road look unbikeable to me.  I had a road bike with me and its largest cog was only 34t. 

But climbed I did and there was no tulak.   

Then the agent did not come on time and he was late for 20 minutes>  I did two laps from Barangay Hall to Kasinay Macamot intersection twice.  And if you have gone this way, this place is a place to practice your climbing skills

Kinaya.   Hindi sumuko

Why go far away to test your cycling ability? Look no further - biking at Macamot and Kasinay is so challenging

Did not go distance biking this morning.  I just decided to bike to Macamot and end up at Kasinay.   It may be only 5 - 7 km but its all ahon.  At the same time, it was an opportunity to see proposed project

two of them Macamot and Kasinay.  B1 - B2.

I decided to use only 52 chain ring in the ride.   Most of them were done and finished and summited using those gears.   But there were three times that I stalled:   one after the intersection near Jon Jon farm, one before doing the leg dog at Kasinay, and one at Kasinay Mabuhay homes intersection  Mere 15 - 20 meters before the summit.  

Felt stronger than  before.   Lakas is not just at Antenna or DOMSA.
