Training for Audax of Baguio Ride - practice ride to Sampaloc Daranak falls

Wheels of Happiness

March 8, 2016

My muscle, joints, knees and hips still ache from excesses of last Sunday race. I slept soundly last night until this morning and yet I decided to have a practice ride to Sampaloc.

I stopped at KM 64 and decided to make a turn for Daranak falls which I thought was a simple ride.  But no.  It was as if I rode straight to Sampaloc and even worse than that.  There was a return route that was not unlike Majayjay.  True to the prediction of an old woman, I had to walk about 200 meters to the summit near Aurora sign.   It would not have been had I not answered a query from somebody in Innova who inquired where Daranak falls was (Naturally I had to stop.  It is difficult to restart from a middle of an incline.  I had to find spot where I could start sideways/crosswise)

I would have made 90 km distance today, plus a degree of difficulty of about 4 (out of 5)

By Friday, I would do a right turn for Jarels peak.

I visited the Webscorer site and found out that the software/appls can be used 30 days free and subscription can be had for as little as $250.00 a year.  The apps is downloadable free from  Appstore.

The apps can handle event registration, multi event, multiple timing and can be done manually, using photocell and other existing timers like Tag Hauer, and the rfid.

Three major tasks are handled:   event registration, event timing and race results
